2-sphere wireframe as an orthogonal projection Just as a stereographic projection can project a sphere's surface to a plane, it can also project the surface of a 3-sphere into 3-space.
Due to the conformal property of the stereographic projection, the curves intersect each other orthogonally (in the yellow points) as in 4D.
These surfaces are cylindrical (e.g. Mercator ), conic (e.g. Albers ), or azimuthal or plane (e.g. stereographic ).
One common projection is a Schlegel diagram which uses stereographic projection of points on the surface of a 3-sphere into three dimensions, connected by straight edges, faces, and cells drawn in 3-space.
Because Poppy captures a stereographic pair of images, it's relatively straightforward to create a wiggle GIF from a picture you take with Poppy.
A stereonet is a stereographic projection of a sphere onto a plane, in which planes are projected as lines and lines are projected as points.
