Although regular two eyed people get _some_ depth information from the disparity between the images in their two eyes, they also get a LOT of depth information from parallax. In real life, we are always moving about, moving our heads and our eyes, and when we do that, nearby things seem to move relative to the background more than things further away. Unconsciously we pick up on that. We all use it to judge depth, and it is probably more important, in real world vision, than binocular disparity… sounds plausible to me… --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-with-convergence-issues-can-you-see-the-3d-in-avatar/523272)._
