perspective view

Vanishing point illustration

A perspective view is a visual representation showing objects as they appear to the eye, with distant things smaller and parallel lines converging toward vanishing points.

The term appears in architecture, engineering, and 3D modeling to distinguish from flat orthographic views: The architect presented a perspective view of the building from street level.
