Axiomatic summary and deductions from Hering’s principles of visual direction

Hering’s principles of visual direction are summarized axiomatically, and deductions are presented. The deductions allow one to predict when veridical or nonveridical judgments of visual direction should occur and when apparent movement should be seen. These predictions agree with the results obtained in special viewing conditions. However, one of the limitations of the principles is that some of the predictions fail in “normal” viewing conditions.
