The maximum human field of vision is approximately 200° horizontally and 135° vertically, but not all of this range is equally effective. The central part of the vision, covering about 5°, is called the foveal region, where visual acuity is highest due to the high concentration of cone cells. Beyond this central region, peripheral vision detects motion and shapes but lacks fine detail and color sensitivity. The effective binocular field of vision, where both eyes overlap, is around 120°, allowing depth perception and stereo vision. These characteristics enable humans to navigate and interact effectively with their environment, balancing sharp central vision with broader peripheral awareness.
