Visuomotorik is the coordination of visual perception and the musculoskeletal system . It is part of the sensorimotor system and includes, among other things, eye-hand coordination (also hand-eye coordination ).

Physiological requirements

Almost every movement of the human body is coordinated through optical perception. With the help of the visual system , the brain creates a model of the environment that enables targeted interaction with physical reality.
