Depth and motion in historical descriptions of motion parallax.
Motion parallax was described as a cue to depth over 300 years ago and as producing apparent motion over 150 years ago. In recent years, experimental interest in motion parallax has increased, following the rediscovery of the idea that stimulus motion can be yoked to head movement. We compare the historical descriptions with some contemporary research, which indicates how depth and motion perception are dependent on the conditions of stimulation.
