Station point
(Redirected from Oculus (perspective))
A station point is a location or vantage point from which an artist or exhibitor intends an observer to experience an artwork. [1]
In photography, the station point is the location of the camera at the point in time when the camera records a view to a recording medium.
In traditional graphical perspective, oculus (abbreviated O) denotes the point[2] in space where a viewer sees a scene to be portrayed on a picture plane. When depiction of a scene is taken over by a camera with photography, the "eye point" or oculus becomes the station point.
