So how would this cause an object to disappear from view? The observer is always above the object on a flat plane.
See green line is shorter than purple line
Imagine the lines marked in yellow are buildings
Buildings don't move
The red observer is closer to the bottom than top
Ur not following
Sorry I'll stop
Ok go on
See how the camera is closer to left side of hallway
Yeah
The pillars start to blend together faster on the side the observer is closest to
Ok
You can see more of the pillars on the ones further away
Thats because the angular resolution
You're able to distinguish them anyway
Another example
The pillars are still there, it's just hard to tell one from another
Closer to left
You lose the objects you are closer to first
The ocean doesnt curve either
There is a difference between losing an object and not being able to distinguish it from other objects
You are just losing what's closest to you first
The human eye has angular resolution limit of .02 degrees
Once the light hits the retina at .02 degrees resolution the object is no longer reasolvable
You dont lose the entire object all at once
Just the part that reached the resolution limit
As it gets further away, the angle will continue to become more shallow
Ah ok now I see
Until it all disappears
So for example if there was something sticking out from between two of the farther pillars you would see it
It appears like there is a curve
Yes you would see things sticking out
Ok I'm following
Its called gradiant slope or optical slant
Imagine looking at a painting on the wall
Then go up to the wall and look down the wall
You would only see the frame
The angle is gone
