Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004552

An optical instrument that reverses the normal perception of depth, making convex objects appear concave and vice versa. It achieves this by transposing the images seen by each eye, effectively swapping the left and right eye views. This device is used in psychological experiments to study depth perception.
