How do you create a sense of depth in a flat image? In this video I’ll show you how to use 5 cues of depth perception to turn a flat image into one that looks like it has depth. I’ll be drawing from terms you would learn about in a chapter from a psychology text on Sensation and Perception. We’ll have a little fun exploring how we can use what your brain expects to see to trick it into seeing what we want it to see.

August 1, 2013Eric, the .mov version is a very large file. I'm not sure where I'd be able to host a file that big. Is there any other video format you were thinking of?

August 1, 2013Darn .MP4 format. I listen at work but we can't load any of what I would need to watch it due to server restrictions on program loading. Can it be converted to a different format and given a link, or is it, in its final state, absolutely set?
