| Abstract: | We show that for any rotationally symmetric projection with a single virtual
viewpoint, it is possible to design a two mirror rotationally symmetric system
which realizes the projection exactly. These mirror pairs are derived from two
coupled differential equations. We give examples where the projections from
the sphere at infinity are stereographic, perspective and equiresolution. |
