Can anyone tell me what Orthagonal Projection means. I know the formula is b - proj b onto a.
What does it mean exactly, I tried searching on google.

Orthogonal Projection is a mathematical method used to project a point or object onto a lower-dimensional space. It is commonly used in linear algebra and computer graphics to represent 3D objects in 2D space.
Orthogonal Projection preserves the relative sizes and angles of objects, while Perspective Projection creates an illusion of depth by making objects that are further away appear smaller. Additionally, Orthogonal Projection projects objects onto a flat plane, while Perspective Projection projects them onto a curved surface.
Orthogonal Projection is used in various fields such as engineering, architecture, and computer graphics to create accurate representations of 3D objects in 2D space. It is also used in data visualization to display high-dimensional data in a lower-dimensional space.
The main difference between Orthogonal Projection and Oblique Projection is the angle at which the objects are projected onto the lower-dimensional space. In Orthogonal Projection, the objects are projected at right angles, while in Oblique Projection, they are projected at arbitrary angles.
Yes, Orthogonal Projection can be applied to non-linear transformations, but it may not preserve the relative sizes and angles of objects. In such cases, non-orthogonal projections may be used to accurately represent the transformed objects in 2D space.
