Optical Illusions

Visual perceptions that differ from reality, where what we see doesn't match the physical measurement of the stimulus source.

Two-Dimensional Displays

Visual presentations that utilize only height and width to represent information, often used in graphs, maps, and images.

Three-Dimensional

Having, pertaining to, or appearing to possess length, width, and depth, giving the perception of fullness or volume.
