A method of generating and modifying a 2D image of a 3D scene the method including the steps: processing an image of a 3D scene to generate a set of data points representative of the 3D scene and 3D objects within the scene; retrieving one or more data points from the set of data; transforming the one or more data points according to one or more mathematical conversion functions, including; a function defining a projection trajectory for each data point; a function defining a geometry of a projection surface for each data point; a function defining a projection volume for each data point; a function defining an angle of projection of each data point with respect to a convergence point on a projection surface; a function defining the size to distance ratio of each data point from a projection surface; generating a transformed set of data points; projecting the transformed set of data points representative of a modified 2D image of the 3D scene; and, rendering the projected transformed set of data points into a 2D image on a display.
