Re: [Phys-l] representing position and orientation



For example, my Gateway NV53 laptop has a camera with optional horizontal
and/or vertical reversal of the presented live and captured images.

Yes it is.
Of course you can also impose L/R and UP/DOWN reversal with software (built
into some cameras).

Neat! Is this also true for an iPad? Some of our students have these.

Have them look at their live image in the monitor of a digital camera.
There will be no L/R reversal.
