More About binocular disparity
Our eyes are like two cameras. They take two pictures of the same thing. Our brain puts these pictures together. This helps us see the world in 3D. This is how we know if things are close or far.
When we play games, we need to see depth. This helps us catch a ball or jump over a puddle. If we did not have this, it would be hard to play.
Some animals see with one eye. They do not see depth like we do. But they are good at other things, like finding food. Each animal has its own way to see!
