"Enhancing Depth in Virtual Images" OpenSim Community Conference (OSCC) presentation by Opal Lei / Lea Tesoro on 2013 September 7/8.

1. Enhancing Depth
in Virtual Images
Opal Lei / Lea Tesoro

2. You will learn…
how your two eyes see depth (stereo vision)
how a one-eyed pirate sees depth (2D vision)
how to simulate depth in 2D still images with
convergence
collusion
shadows
atmosphere
depth of field
using Firestorm Phototools
