Shape Constancy is when we perceive an object as having the same shape regardless of its orientation or the angle from which we view it. Our brain takes into account distance and depth so that we can see that the shape hasn't actually changed.
This book is actually a rectangle when you look at it straight, but from an angle it is a trapazoid. Shape Constancy helps us see that it is still a rectangle in both pictures.
