stereoscopy
Binocular depth perception
Stereoscopy is the technique of creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by presenting slightly different views to each eye.
The brain fuses these two perspectives into a single three-dimensional perception, mimicking natural binocular vision.
Stereoscopic methods range from old-fashioned View-Master toys to modern 3D films and virtual reality headsets: The museum's stereoscopy exhibit let visitors see Victorian photographs in stunning depth.
