I imagine if you can't gauge depth by using multiple perspectives though, you'll get better at simply coordinating your body by ''feeling it'', like when you pick up a glass of water instead of smashing it into the wall behind it. That's probably even more the case if you were born with it, or at least have had TONS of time to adjust.

This is going to be a bit of a long comment, but here goes... #4 wouldn't work very well. Aside from the blind spot you mentioned, the "stalk" would be getting a reverse telephoto effect. The main lens would be focusing light far behind it, so the small lens would have a heavy fish-eye effect, making for terrible depth perception. Overall, I think this would be worse off than the traditional single-eye cyclops. #5 might work, but the faceted eyes of a spider give it terrible vision (aside from noticing motion) because it's so hard for the poor little thing to figure out. A cyclops would presumably be smarter than a spider, so maybe it would do better. #6 wouldn't work at all. For human-sized eyes, our focal distance falls off to infinity very quickly. At 25 cm, the focal length is 4 diopters, at 1 meter it's 1, and at infinity it's 0. So you only get maybe 2 meters out of that before it gets indistinguishable. A cyclops-sized eye might get 4 or 5 meters, but that's still relatively useless for throwing. #7 would have the same problem as #6, focal depth just doesn't work far enough to be useful. You can see it in the picture of the dog you showed; the only real depth planes are the ball (very close), the dog (pretty close), and everything else. However, all of this is ignoring the real problem. Human stereoscopic vision only works out to about 6 meters or so, because after that the parallax gets too small for the distance our eyes are apart. Anything at a useful throwing distance is just our brain guessing based on known sizes of objects anyhow. So a cyclops wouldn't actually be significantly worse off just having one eye.

@jimvargaco.6344

6 жыл бұрын

That makes sense, however, the "stalk" would work essentially like the mechanism by which a camera lens focuses. With a giant pupil the depth of focus on the eye of a cyclops would be much shallower than on our own eyes , so close and far objects would be very blurred while objects in a small area would be in focus. By moving that stalk inside the eye could change it's focal length, thus allowing the cyclops's vision to pull off something of an auto focus effect which, much like on an optical range finder, would give it a sense of depth

But, comparing the vision of our two eyes is not so different. At 25 cm, they are quite different but at infinity they're the same. Our eyes are actually pretty close, you wouldn't see a difference while looking at a mountain far away. Focal depth thing could work just like our eyes.

I love that Lindybeige spends his time really thinking deeply about this stuff.

I like this mythological theorycrafting.

As an optometrist, with at least a bit of knowledge of visual perception, I think this is one of your best videos. I bit superflous(?), as there are numerous proofs that one eyed beings have depth perception, but still very funny and your theories are not bad. 👍

Wikipedia lists over a dozen monocular depth cues our brains already make use of, e.g. accommodation. It seems more likely that cyclops brains would have developed to maximise the use of those depth cues rather than developing a more elaborate eye structure.

I wish i had explaining skills like these. Amazing how interesting he makes cyclops eyes sound.

Mr Beige. I was born with amblyopia, otherwise known as a lazy eye. Unfortunately back in those days, the corrective eye patch 'fix' did bugger all for me, other than a bit of cosmetic alignment. I don't have stereoscopic vision. Although I can see out of my left eye, my brain treats it like extended peripheral vision. It completely ignores it to the point I'm legally blind in my left eye. So for my entire life I've only ever seen the world out of my right eye. I've had many eye tests confirming I don't see stereo / 3D and any depth perception is intuitive rather than optically based. I'm effectively a Cyclops. I can confirm that all your theories are wrong. The human brain does fine with a single eye. Especially if it's never known any difference. I can judge depth and distance as well as the next Biclops. I'll admit that throwing weapons are not my forte, but that's more due to my proprioception, than depth of field. give me a ranged weapon, such as a bow, and I'll do well. I'd say my only visual weakness is forced perspective. As my brain uses an objects known size to determine distance as well as other clues. I don't see how that could be used against me in any meaningful way in combat. And as soon as you got in range of my club, then the field is level as forced perspective needs distance to work. Suffice to say. Any being with a brain with a similar visual cortex as a human, that was born with only a single eye, does fine without stereoscopic vision. We don't have to hunt like other predators with binocular vision. Our larger brains allow us to use traps to catch food or phone for pizza. If all else fails, collect some treasure and enough foolhardy adventurers will turn up on your door. Which is OK, as your average adventurer tastes a bit like kebab meat.

when outdoors i hold a light off to the side of my head at an angle, jiggling back and forth, like how you talked about with the eye, and that movement aids with locating animals with reflective eyes, or glass on the ground, both great reasons to use those calories to move

You're right about this left-right head movement as a mean of increasing the depth perception; every time I see a one-eyed crane operator up there, I notice he moves his head left and right much more than one should expect!

I literally just had to test that thing about not seeing color in your periphery and **** it's true. What I did was get some colored post it pads atleast 3-4 different colors, shuffle them while not looking, keep them hidden and pulled one into your hand behind your head, focus your vision on something directly in front of you and don't move it, slowly bring the post it around your head until you barely notice it in your periphery and stop. Now try to figure out the color of the pad. Usually it's a vague blur of "color" which I'm assuming is your brain trying to guess the color from the options it knows it could be. Once you bring it slightly more forward and "see" the color. You can move it back behind your head and try it again with the same pad and instead of seeing the "vague color" you instantly see the color vibrantly.

The comment on peripheral color vision sounded suspect. I did some self-testing and found that I had no problems distinguishing randomly generated colors at near the edge of my vision. Some Googling around makes it look more like a persistent myth based on misquoted experiments, like the heat-from-the-top-of-your-head thing. I only spent a few minutes on it, though.

Alexander Peters We tested this in my psych class on me and I in fact could not tell what color it was (guessed wrong every time). Mind you, this only applies to the way outer edge, at the point where you can't be sure if something is there unless it's moving. The biological reason for this is that the edges of your eyes do not have any cones (color receptors) and only have rods (light/brightness receptors). Since rods are more sensitive than cones, if you ever been in a place so dark that you cannot see any colors but can just make out the shape of objects, you can see that at work. What your peripheral visions sees is similar to that but without the darkness.

We actually tested it with pencils. There would be an array of 50 different coloured pencils, and someone else would pick one up without the test subject knowing which colour, and then slowly move it from behind their head toward their field of view, while the test subject would be fixed on a point in front of them. Once the test subject noticed a movement in their vision, they would give a signal and the pencil would stop. Then, while still looking forward they would try to guess the colour. They couldn't. Not saying it's definitely impossible to see colours at the edge of your vision, just that there might be some truth to the overall distribution of cones and rods, making it difficult to completely recognize colours, but easier to recognize movement.

Yep. Even with binocular vision, focus still plays a part in depth perception.

To give further evidence for your 3rd theory: Real animals do that already. That's part of why owls bob and twist their heads around when looking at something (albeit that's both for seeing and hearing) as well as one hypothesis for why some animals tilt their heads when confused. Also, the Greedo eye theory is interesting; what if a cyclops eye uses the focus as a determination of distance? By moving the lense forward and back in the eye, the focus of the view would change based on the distance of the given sights. As for the crystal eyes, you forgot to mention that trilobite eyes are always one of the two specific shapes that result in a perfectly focused image regardless of range. The sphincter theory sounds like it'd look like a chameleon's eye Also, natural mirrors already occur in many animals eyes. The tapedum lucedum (not sure of the spelling) is what causes the eyes of crocs, cats, and a lot of others to glow at night and is essentially a mirror that bounces light into the retina to basically give a double exposure. One last thing: how can a head fit both a big head and big brain?

Oh I’m so glad you did the eye sphincter modelling. I thought that you got jack of it after the first few examples and was hoping it would show up as you described it.

I think the opium pipe needs to go back in the cupboard.

Watching him move his mouth around to give us some visualization was very amusing. I enjoy your content lindybeige, you warm my mythos loving heart. edit: Also I would like to see your suggestion on the Ents and Vampires mentioned at the end, those sound interesting, especially the vampire one. Would humidity have a factor? Would it all be like tiny insects? Ooo, wonders.

The one I thought of was never mentioned. We use muscles to focus an image on the retina. Depending on their position/degree of flex, the brain can calculate how far away an object is. The only change happens to the sensitivity of that particular muscle. This has to be the most feasible way. Just as we know where our limbs are at space without looking, the eye can know how distant the focal point of the image is*. Maybe even now Humans could train to be better at this.

i love these types of videos keep up the good work Loyd

What if the Cyclops had a form of Astigmatism that gave it two focus points that accurately created a mild double-vision effect, enabling him to see one object from two slightly different but similar angles? I like the sphincter design too. I also like the idea that they're more accurate in a cave, they probably rely on echolocation too. Although... maybe, like minotaurs aren't meant for hats and trolls/Jötunns aren't meant for sunbathing... maybe Cyclopaes aren't meant to use 3D glasses. Dwarves can smell in colour because they've come from beneath the Earth's core, they're both fascinated by seeing colour which is a shock to the system but also they've smelt the roots and minerals from the natural materials required to make colour. Zombies juggling depends on the freshness of the corpse and whether or not the brain can cope with it without getting hungry or losing track. I suppose the vampires would just... stay in solid form? Ents could form cavalry units if they... branch out... hehehheh... honestly I don't know. Rust monsters would need to frequently replace their irons, or otherwise get one with a plastic handle.

I LOVE this video. Thank you for making it :)

the last one you are really bang on the money. depth queues can come from parallax (stereoscopic vision), or they can come from focal plane shifts. light field sensors capture a picture focused not just at one depth, but at many. this can be used to adjust focus after capture, but the present information can also be used to reconstruct a depth field. just as you can use photogrammetry (i.e. parallax) to reconstruct a depth field. so that would give you feasible single lens depth perception. though stereoscopy is probably better because its far simpler and depth field precision is only gated by how far the eyes are apart, whereas a light field eye would be gated by how many discrete microlenses it can cram over an area of retina.

Lloyd you're my hero, using yourself as the example.

This is super interesting. But has anyone considered that you don't necessarily need eyes to get a 3D picture in your mind of your surroundings. A Cyclops still has two ears right? The fact that the Cyclops spends a considerable amount of time in a dark cave would also suggest echo location would be far more useful, and plausible than relying entirely on stereoscopic vision. Just a thought. Really enjoy these mythological discussions!

In The Odyssey, after he is blinded, Polyphemus uses sound locating to throw boulders at Odysseus's ship, and comes really close to hitting it.

Fucking hell Lindy I was not expecting this 😂

Lloyd is such the quintessential cool-uncle-with-an-encyclopedia-in-his-head person that it is hard to imagine him at age 14.

amazing video especialy the graphics and the thinking love it

Expected this to be a vsauce video or something

May i ask why do u have a picture of Jeor Mormont on your wall next to pictures of fauna and flora?

I love this kind of theoretical biology style of video, thanks!

Of the cyclopean eye models that you've posited, 5 and 6 are my favorites. Both are feasible, #5 is scary and realistic (it almost feels like a chameleon's eye with the outer wrinkly-bits at least from the outside), and #6 creates a feasible if fantastical reason for heroes and adventurers to go after and possibly hunt the cyclopes: if the eye-prism is of a hard-enough or lustrous material as I envision it, taking them as trophies and as a precious stone as a sort-of cyclopes-pearl would give them value -- Especially for larger specimens.

6 physically doesn't work. The line that goes to the two retinas contains the same image. You need a separate hole for a second point of view.

Hey nice sweater

"A GIANT BEAST OF MYTHOLOGY!" Unless they're an anime girl. Then they're just adorable.

There are already creatures with one eye only looking at most of the scene they're seeing. Like deer. Or pigeons. They get depth perception from: moving the head around (birds always sort of bob their heads, like you said for the cyclops), occlusion (half a shape is behind the full shape), focusing on things at different distances (you don't need to constantly scan focus, you only have one target you care about generally), perspective (lines converge toward the horizon), atmospheric occlusion (like in a japanese landscape print, far away mountains and things are more washed out from air in between), size (you know how big a human is so if it's half size, it's probably twice as far away), and a bunch of others.

These type a of vids are my favorite from you lindy old pal

i would have liked to see you consider, that goats, and octopus have quite unique iris, that are shaped like an x or a y or a T. if the cyclopse used a X with the axis on horizontal and verital acsis, with what ever muscles and stuff inside the eye, would create the depth. as the X will allow light from up down left and right in.

most magic weapons can rust....it depends on the type of material used in their construction, or if magical measures were used to make them not rust..but that ultimately depends on the DM/GM :P

I've always liked the swaying motion of Harryhausen's Cyclops. It seemed very logical for a one eyed giant trying to look at quick little humans. Almost as awesome as the way it licks its lips while cooking

The bit at the end about different symmetries is super fascinating. Almost every animal on earth and basically all land animals are bilaterally symmetrical, like us. Its thought that the stability and strength that bilateral symmetry provides is needed for land locomotion. In the ocean, there is also radial symmetry, like jellyfish and starfish, and some animals with little to no symmetry, like sea sponges. There used to be another type of symmetry called fractal symmetry, that followed a fractal pattern like snowflakes.

I think I just got 12k experience points for watching this vid. Thanks Lindy!!

On the same note. I use techniques devilped by the blind to function. As I am legally blind but not totally blind.

Franz Luggin Personally, I thought it was visionary.

I'm so happy that you said this about the cyclops. I was born with a lazy eye (Amblyopia) and have tried to explain just what you are saying.

One moment I'm listening to stuff about tanks and formations and whatnot, then about crap archery on telly and how fire arrows just don't work like in the movies, and next it's how a Cyclops could see in 3D with one eye. This is the best channel.

Try telling whomever found an elephant skull and came up with said Cyclops theory. Good deduction though.

No one: Literally not a single person: Lloyd: what if a cyclopes had eyelids that were like buttholes?!

That pulsating lense is great idea, but it is the light that goes through the prisim that is divided, and the reflected light that forms the normal view.

There's another way, Lindy: Organic lidar. The Cyclops could have coherent light emitting organs, effectively living laser diodes, somewhere on its head. They could even be built into the eye. In this case, depth perception would come from releasing a pulse of laser light, and timing how long it took for reflected light to bounce back. The further an object is away, the longer reflected light from it would take to return.

Could you do a video on Naphtha grenades, and its uses (or lack there of) in most RPGs. Seems like it would be good weapon for an alchemist.

I love the great courses. Strongly recommend them.

I only have sight in one eye, and the head bobbing thing is something I do involuntarily when I'm trying to get fine depth perception. For the most part, linear perspective gets everything done, but when I'm trying to park in a small space, thread a needle, or something that requires accuracy I do mmbob my head (and I've been teased about it quite a lot)

Instead of saying, "Double Ewe, Double Ewe, Double Ewe, Dot," you could say, "Triple Whisky, Dot," and be done with it.

@3:40 This is how hubble does it. It waits till it is in a different position and that information is used to determine the distance to an object

That's very thoughtful. Thanks for explaining that!
