Abstract
Space perception is not a congenital faculty of human beings, but it evolves during the first few years of life. Experts are of the opinion that depth perception can be improved during the first 15-16 years of life. It is very important to help our up coming generation acquire good space perception as this is essential to be able to perform in a high number of occupations. We have developed a multimedia program with animations that were used by nursery school children to examine space perception. We developed test multimedia games with anaglyph technique to investigate the little children. If the kindergarten teacher realizes the child is not able to solve the task in the multimedia games she/he can send the child to the ophthalmologist just in time for complete examination. In this case eventually other problems will come to light in time.
