Definition and Usage
Theperspective property is used to give a 3D-positioned element some perspective.
Theperspective property defines how far the object is away from the user. So, a lower value will result in a more intensive 3D effect than a higher value.
When defining theperspective property for an element, it is the CHILD elements that get the perspective view, NOT the element itself.
Tip: Also look at theperspective-origin property, which defines at which position the user is looking at the 3D object.
