I don't get what you mean by "cues." Anyway, with monoculars, there is no depth perception. One-eyed people can get some inferior imitation of it by moving their heads back and forth, but true depth perception occurs because each of our eyes sees objects from a slightly different angle, and then our brains combine the two images into one.
