What happens in the case of binocular disparity?

A) Feedback develops due to the strain on the eye muscles.
B) Insufficient information causes inaccurate depth perception cues.
C) Slightly different images from the environment are projected onto the retina of each eye.
D) A conflict ensues when there are two very similar depth perception cues.

Binocular Disparity

The difference in image location of an object seen by the left and right eyes, resulting from the eyes’ horizontal separation, providing a cue for depth perception.

Retina

The retina is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of the eye, responsible for receiving light and converting it into neural signals that the brain interprets as visual images.

Depth Perception

The ability to perceive the world in three dimensions and to judge the distance of objects.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Binocular disparity refers to the slight difference in the images projected onto the retina of each eye. This disparity is used by the brain to create a sense of depth and distance perception.
