Compelling illusions of self motion, known as vection, can be produced in a stationary observer by visual stimulation alone. The role of binocular vision and stereopsis in these illusions was explored in a series of three experiments. Linear vertical vection was produced by upward or downward translation of stereoscopic surfaces. The surfaces were horizontally-oriented depth corrugations produced by disparity modulation of patterns of persistent or short lifetime dot elements. The experiments demonstrate an increase in vection magnitude and decrease in vection latency with binocular viewing. Experiments utilising short lifetime dot stereograms demonstrated that this binocular enhancement was due to the motion of stereoscopically defined features.
