Jeffrey Ambroziak
cartographer, inventor, and attorney
Jeffrey Russell Ambroziak (born November 12, 1966) is an American cartographer, inventor, and attorney. He developed the "Ambroziak Infinite Perspective Projection," a technique for creating three-dimensional maps.
Ambroziak was born in Okinawa, Japan, and educated at Princeton University and William & Mary Law School. Prior to law school, Ambroziak worked as a software engineer for Andersen Consulting and Fannie Mae. In 1997, along with his father and brother, he founded Ambroziak Third Dimension Technologies with the purpose of developing geospatial visualization software. Ambroziak co-invented the "Ambroziak Infinite Perspective Projection" (AIPP), a map projection method used for three-dimensional stereo visualization of geographic data. It allows viewers to move their viewpoint about a map while minimizing distortion, and scales the vertical exaggeration depending on the viewer's distance from the map. Three-dimensional maps created with the projection have been used widely, and were featured in a book co-authored by Ambroziak (Infinite Perspectives: Two Thousand Years of Three-Dimensional Mapmaking,
Princeton Architectural Press, 1999), and in his exhibitions at institutions such as the Peabody Museum of Natural History.
Ambroziak is a patent attorney specializing in intellectual property matters. He has been employed as an attorney at such companies as Walker Digital.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jeffrey Ambroziak” as cartographer, inventor, and attorney. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as cartographer, inventor, and attorney. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6175827. VIAF identifies the subject as 74024145. The Library of Congress control number is n99029489. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1966, 1997 and 1999.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
