Points of View, Perspectives

Three ways of looking at things and situations in this world :

Anamorphosis:
It is a distorted projection or perspective requiring the viewer to occupy a specific vantage point to reconstitute the image (Wikipedia)

Parallax View :
"Parallax is an apparent displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight...
The term is derived from the Greek παράλλαξις (parallaxis), meaning "alteration". Nearby objects have a larger parallax than more distant objects when observed from different positions, so parallax can be used to determine distances." (Wikipedia)

Parallax also denotes the farthest object in the line of sight as a fixed reference point with the nearest objects to the observer seeming to move at a faster rate as the observer change position or his line of sight.

Periscopic View:
"Any of various tubular optical instruments that contain reflecting elements, such as mirrors and prisms, to permit observation from a position displaced from a direct line of sight." (www.answers.com)

A periscopic sight allows one to view along a displaced or deflected axis, providing an observer with the view from a position which may be inaccessible or dangerous or to see objects not in his direct line of vision or concealed by some intervening body.


It seems to me that these perspectives can be used to help one in discerning or analysing things,situations and problems.... Something to think about...
