Parallax Position From Two Rays


  One can use parallax directly to determine the apparent position of the source of the final rays. All one needs is a position on two rays and the direction of the rays at those points. Using this data one can compute the position, x̄, where the rays will cross.


Using a minus sign with μ makes the calculation a little easier. Here's the plot from the last blog for review.


The calculation shows that the two final rays radiate from the image of the luminous source.
