3D projection

Volumetric visual output

3D projection is a technique for representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface.

In technical drawing and computer graphics, different projection methods—perspective, orthographic, isometric—determine how depth translates to flat images.

In entertainment, 3D projection creates the illusion of depth on screens or surfaces, sometimes requiring special glasses: The stadium featured a 3D projection of the team mascot.
