A fundamental challenge in visual psychology and neuroscience is to understand how 2D retinal inputs are reconstructed into a coherent and stable 3D visual world. In this review paper, I will introduce our recent fMRI studies on 3D depth perception in which we investigated 1) how and where in the brain multiple depth cues are integrated, 2) the development of visual 3D cue integration at the level of neural representation, and 3) how the outputs of neurons responding to local and simple elements are progressively transformed to encode the critical features of spatially-extensive objects. Based on those studies, I will discuss on the roles of dorsal visual areas to infer the computational hierarchy that supports the 3D estimation, a property important for recognizing our visual world and planning actions. Furthermore, I would like to discuss how 3D vision psychology/neuroscience studies can contribute to the engineering fields to develop future display devices and information and communication technologies.
