How is a 3D matrix used in projection?
These matrices are used to project vertices of 3D objects onto the screen in order to create images of these objects that follow the rules of perspective. Remember from the lesson on geometry that a point is also a form of matrix. A 3D point can be defined as a [1×3] row vector matrix (1 row, 3 columns).
What is the perspective and orthographic projection matrix?

Can a projection matrix be a special form of an identity matrix?
For an identity matrix with column vectors in Rn, each vector will be projected not onto a subspace of Rn, but onto Rn itself. It can be considered a special form of projection matrix, and the only one invertible. There are a couple excellent answers already, but I’d like to add one more perspective (hinted at in @Antoni’s answer).
Can a perspective matrix be changed to a point matrix?
This requires to assign -z to w’. The question now is: can we change our perspective projection matrix (which is just a slightly modified version of the identity matrix at this stage) so that the result of the point-matrix multiplication sets w’ to -z?
Is it possible to change the perspective projection matrix?
The question now is: can we change our perspective projection matrix (which is just a slightly modified version of the identity matrix at this stage) so that the result of the point-matrix multiplication sets w’ to -z? To answer this question, let’s look again at the point-matrix multiplication but let’s focus for now on the w’ coordinate only:
Is the projection matrix of a linear model idempotent?
The projection matrix corresponding to a linear model is symmetric and idempotent, that is, P 2 = P {displaystyle mathbf {P} ^{2}=mathbf {P} } . However, this is not always the case; in locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOESS), for example, the hat matrix is in general neither symmetric nor idempotent.
How are projection matrices used in rasterization algorithms?
Projection matrices are also generally only used by programs that implement the rasterization algorithm. In itself, this is not a problem at all, but in the algorithm, there is a process called clipping (we haven’t talked about it at all in the lesson on rasterization) that happens while the point is being transformed by the projection matrix.
