Points at Infinity

Points at infinity are concepts used in various fields, like mathematics and art, to help understand shapes and perspectives. In geometry, they represent locations where parallel lines appear to meet as they extend indefinitely, like train tracks heading toward the horizon. In projective geometry, these points make sense of how we can visualize and analyze shapes from different viewpoints. In art, especially perspective drawing, points at infinity help create the illusion of depth. Overall, they provide a way to handle concepts that seem abstract but are essential for understanding and working with infinite spaces.
