stimuli and apparatus, an approach that is rare nowadays. Sometimes the device was

system moved conventional stimuli, as in the dichoptiscope. This approach often
allowed for precision, realism and fidelity not possible with computer-generated
displays although it required skill at mechanical design and construction. Having

design of such apparatus, in particular highlighting some notable devices used to study
binocular vision. I will also discuss what we can learn from Ian's approach in the light
