===== Retinal Disparity =====

**Retinal disparity**, sometimes called **binocular disparity**, is part of the process in visual perception that generates the depth and dimensionality. In the sequence of perception, this would occur at the surface/object stage. Specifically, retinal disparity is the space between the eyes that allows binocular vision to create depth perception.

The diagram below indicates a left and right eye. Both eyes converge on a box but due to retinal disparity, the angle of viewing is slightly different for each eye. The brain combines the two images to create the perception of a three-dimensional object.
