Parallax - Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org ![rw-book-cover|200x400](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/static/images/article4.6bc1851654a0.png) ## Metadata - Author: **en.wikipedia.org** - Full Title: Parallax - Wikipedia - Category: #articles - Tags: #vision - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax ## Highlights - Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight and is measured by the angle or half-angle of inclination between those two lines. Due to foreshortening, nearby objects show a larger parallax than farther objects, so parallax can be used to determine distances. - Tags: #vision
