  2. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    Concave (minus) spherical lenses tend to have barrel distortion. Pincushion distortion In pincushion distortion, image magnification increases with the distance from the optical axis. The visible effect is that lines that do not go through the centre of the image are bowed inwards, towards the centre of the image, like a pincushion. Convex ...

    A polarized 3D system uses polarization glasses to create the illusion of three-dimensional images by restricting the light that reaches each eye (an example of stereoscopy ). To present stereoscopic images and films, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen or display through different polarizing filters.
