Abstract
Trying to represent 3D images on a 2D surface is a big challenge for manufacturers of flat panel displays – but it is a challenge that is hardly new. This chapter serves to simply introduce some of the difficulties related to assuring proper perspective in the creation of 3D imaging. As technology continues to move from stereoscopic to autostereoscopic, to volumetric, ultimately to real-time holographic representations, these lessons about perspective will become increasingly important.
