visual observation

Visual observation is the process of gathering information about an object or environment through the sense of sight. It involves carefully looking at details such as shape, color, size, movement, and condition to understand or assess a situation. This method relies on direct perception without the use of instruments, and it requires attention to detail to notice important features. Visual observation is fundamental in many fields, including science, security, and everyday decision-making, providing critical initial insights that guide further analysis or action.
