10. Parallax
    `Parallax`, or more accurately `motion parallax`, is the change of angular position of two stationary points relative to each other as seen by an observer, caused by the motion of an observer. Simply put, it is the shift of an object against a background caused by a change in observer position. If there is no parallax between two objects then they occupy the same position. The term derives from the Greek Ã?€Î±Ã?Â?αλλαγή (`parallagé`), meaning ...
