How can there be a 'level' of stereoscopy? you either see in stereo or you don't, I can tell the monitor is about 2 feet in front of me as I type, a chest of drawers is about 9 feet away from me, but telling the difference between 5 miles or 6 miles becomes much more difficult on judgement alone.

what the hell is that prog meant to do? all I see are 2 vertical bars that break and the angle of break increases according to the number you put in.

one of the first thing they teach you when flying is that if an object stays in the same spot on your windscreen/window in the air it means you're on collision course. Considering the stress of the situation, it's not that surprising, and I'd rather fly with a cautious than an overconfident pilot.

As for the passenger that got injured, that hopefully will teach them a lesson about keeping the bloody seatbelt fastened when they're told to. I always recommend to keep the seatbelt fastened all the way through the flight, because when something as unexpected as this happen, first thing to get hurt will be your head smashing against the luggage compartment.

you have to look at it as an stereogram youll see varying depth till it gets lost

it can measure the level of stereopsis

i designed it to train my stereopsis farther

No. Zebra pattern is evolved because black and white stripes attract far fewer biting flies. Nothing to do with large cats, who can obviously tell the head from the tail.

For God's sake Raaaid, get out and play a game that involves a bat and a ball and then come back and tell us that we don't have depth perception! A bit of fresh air might do you some good.

raaaid please stop hijacking every topic with your rambling nonsense!!! :evil:

Jesus! It's like trying to have a conversation among adults and a kid keeps on interrupting!

yeah sorry ill keep the 3d perception to my other thread though im pretty sure thats the reason of the pilot mistake

thanks for the kid compliment :)

That explains why it is completely useless

i know pretty much for sure since i have had real depth perception as in a 3d movie several times in my life , BUT JUST FOR SECONDS

im pretty sure by gnut that if am able to keep that perception beyond a minute ill go 4 dimesnional and achieve enlightenment

what a stupid video, how can you have a 2-D world, anything with mass / boundries / enclosure, must have 3 dimensions even if the 3rd dimension is only 1 atom high.

Stupid pilot didn't check his radar or TCAS ??
