Projections are highly accurate representations of the original subject. Projections refer to the process of representing a three-dimensional object or space onto a two-dimensional surface. This can be done using various techniques such as orthographic projection, perspective projection, or isometric projection. Projections are used in various fields like architecture, engineering, and art to create accurate and realistic depictions of objects or spaces. They allow for a detailed and precise representation of the original subject, capturing its dimensions, proportions, and spatial relationships effectively.
