Week 9-10: 2D & 3D Plane (Visual Perception)

Regular A4 paper is 2D

    This week we learn about Visual Perception. How we can use something in 2D and make it into 3D.

    Firstly a piece of A4 paper was folded into a crane. The height of the body of the swam gives a perception of depth. As the wings gave it a perception of distance, size, and space. Allowing it to be perceive as a 3D object.

Making the 2D paper into something we can perceive as 3D

     To allow further enhance visual perception there are 8 major components

• Time
  - reading things in chronological order
  - how we perceive something
• Illusion
  - the movement of the crane on the plane creates an illusion (fast/slow)
  - created with the combination of the major component "Time & Motion"
  
• Motion
  -motion of and on the 2D and 3D space.
• Binocular Cues
  - Depth cue which both results for BOTH way of seeing
  -Both eyes
• Monocular Cue
  -Depth cue which results only using ONE way.
  -Linear
• Light & Brightness
  - gives the 2D object a 3D look.
  - cast shadows
  
• Position
  - setting
  - theme
  -2D & 3D
• Orientation
  -Left
  -Right
  -Middle
  -Justified
  

    The other components that contribute to visual perception are:

• Partial Overlap
  - of the crane wings and the 2D plane.
• Parallax & Muscular
  - allow us to perceive
  -under binocular cues
• Size
  -size of each part of the plane
  
• Colour
  - the different colour gives value to the object like texture and gradient.
  -texture and gradient are transparency and/or blurry of details on certain areas of the plane and object.
• VPoint
  -Vanishing Point = perspective.
  -the crane's shape of 3 major points (Aerial, Linear, Detail) on the 2D plane all links to a certain VPoint contributing to the visual perception of it as a 3D object.
