   Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight and is measured by the angle or half-angle of inclination between those two lines. [1] [2] Due to foreshortening, nearby objects show a larger parallax than farther objects, so parallax can be used to determine ...

   parallax

   /ˈparəlaks/

   noun

   • 1. the effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, e.g. through the viewfinder and the lens of a camera: "what you see in the viewfinder won't be quite what you get in the photograph because of parallax error"
   • ▪ the angular amount of parallax in a particular case, especially that of a star viewed from different points in the earth's orbit: "he succeeded in measuring the parallax of the star 61 Cygni"

   Word Origin late 16th century (also in the general sense ‘fact of seeing wrongly’): from French parallaxe, from Greek parallaxis ‘a change’, from parallassein ‘to alternate’, based on allassein ‘to exchange’ (from allos ‘other’).

   Apr 30, 2024 · The three types of parallax are positive, zero, and negative parallax. The distinction depends on the relative motion of an object against its background as the observer’s viewpoint changes. Understanding these categories helps in various fields, including astronomy, virtual reality, and 3D imaging.
