Dictionary of Computers - parallax
parallax
In virtual reality, the distance between the viewer's left and right eyes in the virtual world.
This difference is what creates the impression of depth. Right and left images of distant objects look the same; but left and right images of nearby objects look markedly different owing to the difference of perspective. Manipulating this variable in a virtual world helps make objects look large or small.
