Detailed explanation-1: -Depth perception is the ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D) and to judge the distance of objects. Your brain achieves it by processing different pictures from each eye and combining them to form a single 3D image.
Detailed explanation-2: -Depth perception is the ability to see things in three dimensions (including length, width and depth), and to judge how far away an object is. For accurate depth perception, you generally need to have binocular (two-eyed) vision.
Detailed explanation-3: -Depth perception works by your two eyes viewing different images and your brain bringing them together to form one single image. This process is referred to as convergence. This explains why those with vision in only one eye do not have great depth perception.
Detailed explanation-4: -As humans, we have two eyes. These two eyes both see a slightly different angle and view around us. These two views are compiled into one within the brain. This effect is called stereopsis, and it gives us depth perception.
