visual depth
Seen spatial recession
Visual depth is the perception or representation of three-dimensional space—how far away objects appear and how they relate to each other in distance.
In art and photography, visual depth is created through techniques like perspective, shading, and overlapping forms: The painting achieves remarkable visual depth through its use of atmospheric haze.
In vision science, it refers to the brain's ability to perceive distance from binocular cues and other spatial information.
