Welcome to the forum... This is an electronics forum and not necessarily the "parallax effect" you describe, but "Parallax" in our case just happens to be the name of our company.
In answer to your question, since it "could" potentially be in relation to computer/robot vision, the Wiki page explains it well. Here is a quote from the wiki...
"Animals also use motion parallax, in which the animals (or just the head) move to gain different viewpoints. For example, pigeons (whose eyes do not have overlapping fields of view and thus cannot use stereopsis) bob their heads up and down to see depth.[4]
The motion parallax is exploited also in wiggle stereoscopy, computer graphics which provide depth cues through viewpoint-shifting animation rather than through binocular vision."
