The entire visual field can be mapped to the outer spherical surface.
A sphere is the ideal medium for representing a whole landscape visible at a certain point.
全視野は球の内面とみなせるので、変換すれば球の表面にも投影できる。
ある地点から見えるすべての風景は、球の表面に描くことができる。
A: The entire visual field as an inner spherical surface
The entire visual field surrounds a viewpoint like the inner spherical surface. The rectangular planer images, like a photograph or monitor screen, are the approximated substitute for a part of spherical field of sight.
When the image is projected on a spherical surface, a straight line in the real world is projected as a spherical geometric straight line, i.e. a part of a great circle.
C: 球面に投影した像
球面に投影された現実世界の直線は、球面幾何学的な直線(大円)として描かれる。
D: Projected images on a plane
When the image is projected on a plane, a straight line in the real world cannot be projected as a straight line except the lines that pass the center of the projection, e.g. the red and the blue lines in the chart. While the field of sight cannot avoid the distortion, the shape or apparent size of the objects cannot be preserved.
When the image is projected on a retina, every straight lines in the real world is projected as a spherical geometric straight line, therefore, we can perceive the straight line as it is.
オリンピックを見ていて、どうしてもカーリングの リンクのサイズ感が気になったので どのくらいハウスが遠くにあるのか、どんな大きさなのかを実感するため 宇宙の天体同士の距離と比較してみた。 Watching at the Olympic curling game, I was very curious about the size of the rink. So I made this chart to see the size relation between the curling rink and the space. I hope you should find this helpful.
