>I found the article on VISIDEP, and it's in our very own Stereo World,
>March/April 1983. The article was written by John Dennis. VISIDEP (Visual
>Image Depth Enhancement Process) was invented by Dr. Edwin Jones, Dr.
>LeConte Cathey and Dr. Porter McLaurin of the University of South
>Carolina. Here's a quote from their press release on the process:
>
>"By observing how a one-eyed person interprets depth, the USC professors
>discovered a novel approach in communicating depth to the brain -
>*disproving the previously accepted stereopsis theory that two eyes are
>required to see depth.*
