The relation between binocular and monocular motion perception was investigated. A random-dot stereogram (30 .times. 30 degree arc), containing a central figure seen in front of the background in stereoscopic vision, was viewed dichoptically by human subjects without a fixed visual frame of reference. The images seen by the right and left eye were moved literally according to a triangular wave form, in counterphase, but with variable amplitude ratios. Under this condition only purely lateral movement and no motion in depth of the stereogram as a whole was perceived, while stereoscopic vision of the figure-background relation was maintained. The magnitude of the binocularly perceived lateral motion, signaled by manual tracking of the perceived displacement, equaled the algebraic mean of the monocular motion percepts. As a special case, when the 2 images forming the stereogram were moved with equal velocities but in opposite directions they were perceived as a completely stationary, fused image in stereoscopic depth. Only the addition of a stationary refererence (a bar or grating seen by both eyes) resulted in the perception of motion in depth. A visual frame of reference is essential for perception of motion in depth but not for perception of lateral movements. It seems likely that not absolute binocular disparity (retinal locus differences) but relative binocular disparity (differences in angular distance between 2 or more correspondng features in the 2 retinal images) is a cue for perception of depth.
