Additional senses: the visual appearance of something or someone; "the delicate cast of his features"; any spatial attributes (especially as defined by outline); "he could barely make out their shapes"; a perceptual structure; "the composition presents problems for students of musical form"; "a visual pattern must include not only objects but the spaces between them".
