Final #2 (Six Monocular Depth Cues)

This is ATMOSPHERIC MONOCULAR CUE from Second Life, because it shows the atmosphere and we can see a better detailed flower closer to us than the ones that are further away that look just like a pool of yellow. Furthermore, the objects closer to me are more detailed than those further from me.

This is DENSITY MONOCULAR CUE from Second Life, because it shows how dense the object is that is farther compared to the one closest to me.You can see the texture of this storage barge on the left much greater than the one on the right. If you look at the storage barge's even further back they appear even more dense.

This is LIGHTING AND SHADING MONOCULAR CUE from Second Life. I thought this image was cool to use because although the gradient detail is very cool the actual shape of the object lets you see lighting at its finest. For example, the grooves closer to the ground and away from the sun light are more dark and shaded as indicated by the circles, then the grooves that are directly exposed to sun light. It does appear as if light is pouring over the object.

This is LINEAR PERSPECTIVE MONOCULAR CUE from Second Life. This is a street that has yellow lines that follow it towards its end. The lines are more defined when they are closer and then as you get to the distance the double yellow lines almost appear to converge into one line because of tricks on the eye.

This is OCCLUSION MONOCULAR CUE from Second Life. Occlusion happens when something closer to you blocks something further in the distance thus indicating not only size differences but giving that 3D affect. The fence that is outlined in pink is occluding the tree and the entire park that is behind it. We can safely assume the tree is behind the fence. 

This is SIZING DIFFERENCE MONOCULAR CUE from Second Life. In the image the gas pump that is closer to me appears a tad bit larger than the one that is farther away. Although they are the same size this visual size difference gives the effect of 3D. This visual clue helps us to determine how far things are in relation to one another. 

This is a FINAL project exercise using SECOND LIFE to capture images that present different monocular cues that are given to give the effect of 3D in virtual platforms . It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.
