001 3D Projection
A tendency to see things as three-dimensional when certain visual cues are present.
• People see two-dimensional things as three-dimensional when certain visual cues are present.
• When items are relatively larger, lower, less dense in pattern, lighter, clearer, or in front of other objects, they are perceived to be closer.
• When items are relatively smaller, higher, denser in pattern, bluer, blurrier, or behind other objects, they are perceived to be farther away.
• Consider 3D projection in the depiction of three-dimensional elements and environments. Strongest depth effects are achieved when the visual cues are used in combination; therefore, use as many of the cues as possible to achieve the strongest effect.
