distance perception
Distance perception is how our brain interprets how far away objects are from us. It relies on various visual cues, such as the size of objects (closer objects appear larger), overlapping objects, the way they change or blur at different distances, and the angles of our eyes (binocular cues). Environmental factors like lighting and texture also influence our judgment. Together, these cues help us navigate our surroundings accurately, enabling us to judge depths and move safely through space.
