Demonstration of Binocular Disparity
A simple exercise to observe binocular disparity involves holding a finger at arm's length and focusing on it. By alternately closing one eye and then the other without moving your head, the finger will appear to shift its position against the background. This apparent movement illustrates the different view each eye provides to the brain.

When a viewer looks at the left photograph with only their left eye and the right photograph with only their right eye, they perceive a single image with a strong sense of three-dimensional depth. Which statement best analyzes the fundamental principle behind this perceptual phenomenon?
