Projects

Our primary goal is to foster genuine insight into perspective, vision, imaging, and related projection methods and spatial concepts. Accordingly, a key aim is to enable open access to perspective resources worldwide, whereby all perspective theories, methods, texts, information sources, etc; are indexed and made freely available (where possible).

At the PRC, we are engaged in research and development concerning perspective and the visual dimensions of Art, Science, and Technology.
