This phrase shows *your* own thoughts. You are looking at something from a certain angle. Then you share *your* judgment. It is like looking through a special window. What you say next is what *you* see.

This is different from other similar phrases. "〜によると" means "according to." You use it for facts, like "according to the newspaper." You do not use it for your own opinion. "〜からすると" is for judging based on clues. For example, "from these symptoms, it's a cold." Symptoms do not have a viewpoint. So you would not use "〜から見ると" there. "〜から言えば" means "if you speak from a certain position." It is about saying an opinion.

Don't use this when the thing before it cannot have a view. For example, you wouldn't say "The chair's view" because a chair cannot think.
