A Laboratory Exercise Demonstrating the Relation of Projected Size to Distance

This exercise demonstrates the idea which Leonardo da Vinci reportedly utilized in one of the first systematic studies of linear perspective. The basic notion is that by viewing the environment through a transparent frontal parallel plane, one can study the relationship of projected size to distance. In this manner, many other cues to distance based on this geometric relationship can be appreciated as well. The instructions are:
