Four Illusions

Psychology

Depth Perception

The visual ability to perceive the world in 3D and the distance of an

object

Every day

• Depth perception is something we experience everyday

• The simplest tasks we do everyday involve depth perception

• Bigger tasks such as driving would be near impossible

Getting Up

• Without depth perception it would be hard to tell where an object is exactly at

• Grabbing my toothbrush, turning off my alarm, and walking down the steps would not be as simple

• To other people, it would look like I was trying to grab air

Driving

• If I could even get the car started, driving would be extremely dangerous

• I wouldn’t be able to judge how far away a stop sign or another car is

• I would miss my turns all the time and possibly end up in the ditch

School

• Walking through the halls would be a difficult task

• I’d run into other students

• I would hardly ever make it to class or my locker by myself

• Grabbing necessities, like pens and books, would be challenging
