Hypercyclopean vision refers to the visual system's ability to construct a three-dimensional representation of space using monocular cues, such as motion parallax, perspective, and shading, rather than binocular disparity. It describes higher-order visual processing where the brain synthesizes depth information even when one eye is closed or missing.

The simulator relies on hypercyclopean cues like motion parallax to give the pilot a sense of altitude.
