How does perception of space take place?

The visual field or surface in which things exist, move or can be placed is called space. We perceive not only the spatial attributes (e.g., size, shape, direction) of various objects, but also the distance between the objects found in this space. While the images of objects projected on to our retina are flat and two dimensional (left, right, up, down) we still perceive three dimensions in the space. It occurs due to our ability to transfer a two dimensional retinal vision into a three dimensional perception.
