Abstract

"FLATLAND" is the title of a science fiction story, written in 1880 by E.A.Abbott. The creatures of Flatland, living in their two-dimensional universe, are inspected and manipulated by 3D-people like we are. Here we show how the optics part of this science fiction story can be implemented - for fun and profit.
