January 31, 2004 A new ground-breaking holographic 2D projection technology could result in a new generation of pocket-sized digital video projectors and minia. January 31, ...

By their calculations, the Mercator projection scores 8.296 and Winkel Tripel does better at 4.563. Their own azimuthal equidistant double-sided projection, meanwhile, scores 0.881.

The image you're picturing will most likely resemble the Mercator projection—a 2D representation of the globe created in the 1500s which most maps you commonly come across are based on.

Maximum Intensity Projection is a common tool to represent 3D biological imaging data in a 2D space, but it creates artefacts. Here the authors develop Smooth Manifold Extraction, an ImageJ/Fiji ...

First introduced in 1569 by Flemish map maker Gerardus Mercator, the Mercator projection became widely used for navigation charts since it allowed navigators to plot straight-line courses between ...

"We can create a 3D space with a 2D projection," says Bardainne, 36. The projections are created using eMotion, an app -- available as a free OS X download -- developed by Bardainne and Mondot.

A new experiment could reveal whether or not our full and fleshed-out 3D universe is an illusion, a 2D projection onto a cosmic screen beyond our perception or understanding.

Trained street performers interacted with virtual projection-mapped 2D objects, and through the sleight of hand magic broke these flat objects into the third as glowing 3D props.
