Description: Orthographic projection is a method of graphical representation that allows projecting three-dimensional objects onto a two-dimensional plane. Unlike perspective projection, where objects appear smaller as they move away from the observer, orthographic projection maintains the actual dimensions of objects, making it easier to visualize and create technical designs. This type of projection is commonly used in technical drawing, architecture, and computer-aided design (CAD), as it allows for an accurate representation of shapes and proportions. Orthographic projection is implemented through specific projection matrices in various graphical systems that define the viewing volume and allow developers to control how objects are rendered on the screen. Orthographic projection is particularly useful in applications where precision and clarity are essential, such as in creating 2D graphics, user interfaces, and technical simulations. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a fundamental tool in the arsenal of any developer working with computer graphics.
