Two
Eyes provides a physical illustration of the "stereo
rule" with two giant eyeballs. Each eyeball has a cornea,
a lens and a retina. Two boxes in front of the eyes have large
letters painted on them--one contains a red F and the other
a green P. Images of the F and P form on the back (retinas)
of the eyeballs. Visitors can observe how these images are
upside-down, and different distances apart in each eye. Placement
of these images on the retina is one of the clues the brain
uses to determine depth. You can move the letters and see
how these movements affect the placement of the images on
the eyeballs.
