CSS3 perspective Property
Example
Set the perspective from where an element is viewed:
div
{
perspective: 500;
-webkit-perspective: 500; /* Safari and Chrome */
}
{
perspective: 500;
-webkit-perspective: 500; /* Safari and Chrome */
}

Browser Support
The perspective property is not supported in any browser.
Chrome and Safari support an alternative, the -webkit-perspective property.
Definition and Usage
The perspective property defines how many pixels a 3D element is placed from the view. This property allows you to change the perspective on how 3D elements are viewed.
When defining the perspective property for an element, it is the CHILD elements that get the perspective view, NOT the element itself.
Note: The perspective property only affects 3D transformed elements!
Tip: Use this property together with the perspective-origin property, which allows you to change the bottom position of 3D elements.
