Orthographic & Perspective Projection

I just learned about these two words when playing around with Inetvis, both of the them seems to be the vice-versa.

Orthographic projection is a means of representing a three-dimensional(3D) object in two dimensions (2D).

Perspective projection distortion is the inevitable misrepresentation of 3-dimensional space when drawn or "projected" onto a 2-dimensional surface.

For more details, you can check out the wikipedia links below -

It seems to be fun to learn more about visualization presentation techniques.
