  Of course the brain needs the visual clues given by parallax and other
even subtler details (such as recognizable shapes) in order to maintain
the compensated depth perception. If you eg. pause the game/video for some
time, you will start losing the depth perception again, until you resume
it and start getting the visual clues again.

  With stereo vision you maintain the depth perception even with a
completely static three-dimensional scenery.
