Barry. She was born with crossed eyes and had surgeries to partially fix that, but her brain never combined eye input to create stereovision. So although she saw through both eyes the images were never brought together, she saw in 2-D and used location and perspective clues to decide if something was in front and close or in back and far away.

Then, as an adult through vision exercises she was able to see in 3-D. She is a neuroscientist herself so is able to explain how vision works.

How this relates to maps? After trying some of the simple exercises in her book I was able for the first time to see the aero-triangulated stereopair photo in my GEOINT remote sensing book as 3-D!
