He is the author of The Perception and Cognition of Visual Space (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017), and the lead editor of the Royal Society volume New Approaches to 3D Vision (2023). He has made significant contributions to our understanding of stereo vision (how we see in 3D with two eyes) and is developing new approaches to Visual Scale (the perceived size and distance of objects) and Visual Shape (the perceived 3D shape of objects). He has worked on Virtual Reality as part of the DeepFocus team at Meta Reality Labs, and taught philosophy at both Oxford and UCL.
