Our eyes have to resort to incredibly sophisticated trickery to accomplish their task. As is pointed out in the introductory section, the retina of the eye--onto which the images we "see" are projected--is a two dimensional surface. The brain has to take these images from each eye and blend them in a way that will produce a perception of the world that has space and depth, as well as color and motion.
The aim of this handsomely designed CD-ROM is to explain the mechanics of this phenomenon, as well as the fascinating optical illusions our eyes can play upon us. "Illusions lead us astray," says hostess Norma Lana, "by the same mechanisms that help us see correctly."
