Perceived depth reversals of images on a concave screen

Abstract

Reverspectives and hollow masks cause a reversal of perceived depth when observed from a position beyond certain critical distances, even if viewed binocularly. Their 3D structures or images invariably contain a linear perspective, shading, or familiarity cue to depth. Using a concave screen, we demonstrate a novel type of perceived depth reversal in binocular viewing with a variety of depth cues.

Keywords: binocular stereopsis; depth cues; hollow mask illusion; perceived depth reversal; reverspective.
