| description | Abstract Depth perception is crucial in human vision, allowing us to move and interact with our 3-D surroundings. We used a stereoscopic transparent stimulus comprising parallel overlapping transparent stereoscopic surfaces (POTS) to understand depth perception better. The study focused on exploring the effect of a surrounding frame on the perceived depth of a POTS configuration. The research was based on a proposed idea that explains an "off-frame" effect: a frame at a different depth from a 2-D photograph depicting a 3-D scene increases its apparent depth qualitatively. The idea assumes that processing the disparity between a frame and a photo reduces the reliability of the photograph's flatness cues and increases depth magnitude in depth cue integration. We examined whether the idea can be applied to a 3-D POTS with the flatness cue as the constant accommodation. Through three experiments, the study showed that frames impact the perceived depth magnitude of a POTS configuration. More specifically, the depth magnitude increases as the frame's disparity concerning the monitor plane increases and decreases as the frame's size increases. We discussed the results in the context of depth cue combination. |
