让深度估计像人眼一样主动聚焦，看清透光场景的多层结构。

Depth in the real world is rarely singular. Transmissive materials create layered ambiguities that confound conventional perception systems. Existing models remain passive; conventional approaches typically estimate static depth maps anchored to the nearest surface, and even recent multi-head extensions suffer from a representational bottleneck due to fixed feature representations. This stands in contrast to human vision, which actively shifts focus to perceive a desired depth. We introduce \textbf{DepthFocus}, a steerable Vision Transformer that redefines stereo depth estimation as condition-aware control. Instead of extracting fixed features, our model dynamically modulates its computation based on a physical reference depth, integrating dual conditional mechanisms to selectively perceive geometry aligned with the desired focus. Leveraging a newly curated large-scale synthetic dataset, \textbf{DepthFocus} achieves state-of-the-art results across all evaluated benchmarks, including both standard single-layer and complex multi-layered scenarios. While maintaining high precision in opaque regions, our approach effectively resolves depth ambiguities in transparent and reflective scenes by selectively reconstructing geometry at a target distance. This capability enables robust, intent-driven perception that significantly outperforms existing multi-layer methods, marking a substantial step toward active 3D perception. \noindent \textbf{Project page}: \href{https://junhong-3dv.github.io/depthfocus-project/}{\textbf{this https URL}}.
