為什么我們有兩只眼睛卻只看到一個(gè)東西？
[ 2007-04-11 11:37 ]
1+1=2是我們幼兒園就學(xué)過(guò)的數(shù)學(xué)題吧？可是你注意到了嗎？我們用一只眼睛可以看見(jiàn)一個(gè)東西，用兩只眼睛還是看到一個(gè)東西。明擺著1+1≠2了嘛。想知道為什么嗎？讓科學(xué)為你解釋吧。
 Ever hear the phrase "two are better than one"?
Having two eyes is certainly better than having just one because two eyes provide us withstereo visionanddepth perception-- two things that just eye could not give us.
With 21/2 inches separating our two eyes, each eye views an object from a slightly different angle. For instance, if you hold up a flower and look at it with just your right eye, the image is different from the image of when you look at it with just your left eye. The right eye sees more of the right side of the flower while the left eye sees more of the left side of the flower. If you placed the two different images on top of one another, they would not match and our vision would be out of focus. However, our brains sort out these varying visual messages from our two eyes, combines the images, and recreates one three-dimensional image.
This is referred to asbinocularvision. Just like your look through two lenses in binoculars, humans view the world through two lenses. The eyes of many other animals are placed differently than ours. Many birds have an eye on each side of their head. Each eye sees a completely separate area stretching out on the left or the right.
Viewing the world through two eyes provides us with depth perception. When you look at the flower through just one eye, it looks a lot flatter.
stereo vision: 立體效果
depth perception: 深度知覺(jué)
binocular: 雙目的
