Pulfrich Effect

Physiological effect discovered by astronomer Carl Pulfrich.

Images viewed through a darkened lens reach the brain slower than those viewed through a clear lens.



Pulfrich effect glasses have one dark lens and one clear lens.

When something moves across the visual field, the brain fuses two images from slightly different times.
Motion is thus converted into stereo parallax.
