{{main|Occultation}}
Occultation (also referred to as ''interposition'') happens when near surfaces overlap far surfaces.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/alan.johnston/Depth.html | title=Depth Perception | publisher=UCL Division of Psychology and Language Sciences | access-date=22 September 2013 | author=Johnston, Alan | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927185827/http://www.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/alan.johnston/Depth.html | archive-date=27 September 2013 | url-status=dead }}</ref> If one object partially blocks the view of another object, humans perceive it as closer. However, this information only allows the observer to make a "ranking" of relative nearness. The presence of monocular [[ambient occlusion]]s consist of the object's texture and geometry. These phenomena are able to reduce depth perception latency both in natural and artificial stimuli.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Gillam B, Borsting E |year=1988 |title=The role of monocular regions in stereoscopic displays |journal=Perception |volume=17 |pages=603–608 |doi=10.1068/p170603 |pmid=3249668 |issue=5|s2cid=42118792 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Schacter |first1=Daniel L. |first2=Daniel T. |last2=Gilbert |first3=Daniel M. |last3=Wegner |chapter=Sensation and Perception |title=Psychology |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/psychology0000scha |chapter-url-access=registration |edition=2nd |location=New York |publisher=Worth, Inc. |year=2011 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/psychology0000scha/page/136 136–137]|isbn=9781429237192 }}</ref>
