Question

How does the perception of space take place?

Short Note

Solution

Space is perceived in three dimensions. This is because of the ability to transfer a two-dimensional retinal vision into a three-dimensional perception. Spatial attributes of objects like size, shape, and direction, and the distance between objects also contribute towards the perception of space. While the images of objects projected on the retina are flat and two dimensional, it is possible to perceive them in three dimensions by transferring the two-dimensional retinal vision into a three-dimensional perception.
