Depth Perception in Media Design: From Sensory Psychology Cues to Interactive Tools

Considerable research in sensory psychology has demonstrated the ability to generate depth perception in media by manipulating the physical presentation, relative motion, or pictorial qualities of objects. These research results can enable educational developers to create more realistic educational materials when depth perception is key to comprehension. Developers may also utilize research results and modern software tools to create exploratory environments for learners to alter, position, or interact with spatial elements in a scene.
