# Eye Distance

## Content

The eye distance is the distance between the eye and the **C1CoverFlow** items. The eye distance is what determines how much perspective the items have.

You can modify the eye distance by setting the **EyeDistance** property. The value of this property is relative to the current cover size, meaning that setting it to a value of 0.5 means that the distance will be half the size of the CoverFlow item. By default, this property is set to a value of 1.5.

Here are a few examples of **EyeDistance** property settings:

| **EyeDistance = 0.5** |
