Abstract:
Attempts to accurately portray the three-dimensional surfaces of planets on two dimensional surfaces, or maps, have historically suffered from various distortions. These distortions arise, in part, from the process of reducing the dimensionality of the data to be displayed. Three dimensional projections are further limited by a single viewing point deviations from which result in distortions so great as to make viewing impossible. I shall discuss the patented Ambroziak Infinite Perspective Projection (AIPP), its derivation and its applications in the field of planetary mapping. The AIPP addresses many of the problems present in widely used projections, both 2D and 3D, while producing distortion free, true 3D maps.
Jeffrey Ambroziak is the inventor of the AIPP, author of Infinite Perspectives (forward by Ray Bradbury), and a practicing attorney. A Princeton graduate, Jeffrey lectures on the convergence of art and science in cartography, and the place of the AIPP in the history of map projections and the application of the AIPP to planetary mapping. Most recently the AIPP has received favorable press Ambroziak’s 3D map of the Moon:

He is presently working on a 3D map of galactic background radiation.
