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.
