title: Depth rendition of three-dimensional displays.
abstract: The third dimension in the reproduction of real scenes in three-dimensional displays is commonly subject to scale changes. The geometry of the situation is laid out, permitting the depth rendition of displays to be characterized and subjected to empirical examination. Psychophysical experiments are presented showing, even when geometrical deformations have been factored out, specific deviations from veridicality in observers' depth reports for stereograms of simple static patterns devoid of secondary cues.
