Monocular Cues are visual cues used for depth perception that are dependent on one eye. Several different types of monocular cues help us to estimate the distance of objects: interposition, motion parallax, relative size and clarity, texture gradient, linear perspective, and light and shadow. In this blog, I’ve gone through and described each monocular cue in detail, which are … [Read more...] about Monocular Visual Cues and VR

A Guide Through the Proof of the (Second) Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Welcome back. This week, I hope to build on our discussion of the Riemann integral and prove the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC), which is one of the most powerful results in mathematics. This theorem technically comes in two parts and deals with antiderivatives. Essentially, an antiderivative of a function f(x) is another function whose derivative is equal to f(x). Since … [Read more...] about A Guide Through the Proof of the (Second) Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Innate Moral Core: Part 2 (Morality in Preverbal Children)
In my previous blog, I described how primitive concepts are innate. In this blog, I will go into certain abstract concepts, like “goodness,” and “helping,” that young children are able to understand without having a proper linguistic terminology. While morality may develop with age, infants do have a core sense of morality shown through (a) moral goodness, or empathy, (b) moral … [Read more...] about Innate Moral Core: Part 2 (Morality in Preverbal Children)
Why I Write on XR
There has long been a line drawn between STEM and the arts. Between left-brain and right-brain, logic and creativity. The engineer thinks in numbers and mathematical relationships while the artist thinks in colors, shapes, and feelings. I’ve always been taught that when it came to my career, I’d have to choose between the two. However, I find myself crossing this line on a … [Read more...] about Why I Write on XR
Constructing the Riemann Integral: A Brief Prelude to Real Analysis
Welcome back. I hope that everybody is doing well as midterm season winds down and finals season ramps up. In engineering, mathematics, and computer science, the integral is a powerful tool. A single-variable integral can yield the area under a curve, and a double-variable integral can provide an efficient way to compute the volume under a surface. Integrals also allow us to … [Read more...] about Constructing the Riemann Integral: A Brief Prelude to Real Analysis
