Anamorphosis Reformed: From Optical Illusions to Immersive Perspectives
We discuss a definition of conical anamorphosis that sets it at the foundation of both classical and curvilinear perspectives. In this view, anamorphosis is an equivalence relation between three-dimensional objects, which includes two-dimensional represen
