depth perception
Judging spatial distance
Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions and judge how far away objects are.
It relies on cues like binocular vision, shadows, and relative size.
Good depth perception lets you catch a ball, park a car, or navigate stairs; poor depth perception makes such tasks difficult.
