This paper examines the problem of distortion which arises when a projection on a screen is viewed at an angle. A quantitative parameter—the rate of variation of the viewing angle as function of the projection angle—is defined and this is used to produce ‘distortion surfaces’ by means of a computer program. Plane and cylindrical screens are examined.
