Parallax
Parallax refers to the apparent displacement of an object against a distant background when viewed from different angles, a fundamental concept in various fields, including Astronomy, Photography, and Computer Graphics.
Meanings
- parallax (astronomy): the apparent shift of a nearby star against the background of more distant stars when viewed from opposite sides of the Earth's orbit
- parallax (computer graphics): a technique used to create the illusion of depth in 2D images by layering objects with different speeds of movement
- parallax (optics): the apparent displacement of an object when viewed through an optical instrument, such as a telescope or microscope
