Antiperspective


“A central problem for psychology is vision's reaction to perspective. In the present studies, observers looked at perspective pictures projected by square tiles on a ground plane. They judged the tile dimensions while positioned at the correct distance, farther or nearer. In some pictures, many tiles appeared too short to be squares, many too long, and many just right. The judgments were strongly affected by viewing from the wrong distance, eye height, and object orientation.” In Juricevic, Igor; Kennedy, John M. ‘Looking at Perspective Pictures From Too Far, Too Close, and Just Right.’ Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. 135(3), Aug 2006, 448-461.
