Worm's-eye view

A worm's-eye view of the Tokyo Skytree

A worm's-eye view is a description of the view of a scene from below that a worm might have if it could see. It is the opposite of a bird's-eye view. ^[1]

It can give the impression that an object is tall and strong while the viewer is childlike or powerless. ^[2]

A worm's-eye view commonly uses three-point perspective, with one vanishing point on top, one on the left, and one on the right. ^[3] Frog's-eye view is another term used that is synonymous with worm's-eye view.
