What is ‘motion parallax’? Explain.

Solution

Motion Parallax: It is a kinetic monocular cue. It occurs when objects at different distances move at a different relative speed. The distant objects appear to move slowly than the objects that are close. The rate of an object’s movement provides cue to its distance. For example, when we travel in a bus, closer objects move ‘against’ the direction of the bus, whereas the farther objects move ‘with’ the direction of the bus.
