'''Perspective distortions''' can be described as subtle to drastic changes in the size and distance attributed either to a person’s body, to specific parts of the external environment or the external environment as a whole.

When affecting distance, perspective distortions can make things seem as if they are physically closer or further away than they usually would be. For example this can range from a subtle experience such as the other side of the room feeling marginally further away than it usually would be or it can be an extreme experience such as feeling as if the horizon is right in front of you.
