vision research, 1 minute

This video talks about human stereo vision: https://youtu.be/gGRPHfQhawI

It's from a course in computer vision.

The point of the video is that binocular vision relies on a low level process that directly fuses the two images.

Applied to juggling; this means that a ball that is far away is determined to be far away because in the fused image from both eyes it appears as a single ball. A ball that is nearer the eyes appears near because in the fused image two overlapping (occluded) circles are seen.

In most, if not all aspects, the capabilities of computer vision on desktop computers is greater than that of human vision. With the exception of determining depth from stereo vision.

Computer vision sucks at finding depth. Human vision is great at determining which objects are near and far.
