Scope note
Refers to views having a viewpoint well below normal eye level, typically depicted as if seen from the surface of the earth or the floor, as if the viewer is lying down and looking straight up. The horizon for a worm's-eye view is usually placed very low or outside the picture. For architectural drawings in precise perspective, use "worm's-eye perspectives."
