I've always been curious if stereoblind people are typically better at drawing than people with normal stereo vision. I'm stereoblind, and I always seemed to be better than most of my peers at drawing, and my hypothesis is that since there are no stereo cues from a flat piece of paper (or rather, what stereo cues there are are "wrong" if you're attempting to draw a 3D scene), the stereoblind person is not going to be bothered by (nor attempt to (incorrectly) render) discrepancies in stereo cues between what they're drawing and what they're seeing.
- munificent 7y agoMy sister is a fantastic photographer. She has an incredible ability to look at the entire 3D world around her and discover these little pieces of it that make for an excellent two-dimensional image. She is also famously clumsy, always tripping, dropping things, bumping into stuff, aiming poorly, etc. I've often wondered if poor stereo vision is the cause of both of those.
