Rudolf Karl Luneberg (1903-1949) was a professor of mathematics and optics at the Dartmouth College Eye Institute. He was born in Germany, received his doctorate at Gottingen, and emigrated to the United States in 1933.
His work includes an analysis of the geometry of visual space as expected from physiognomy and the assumption that the angle of vergence provides a constant measure of distance. From these premises he concludes that near field visual space is hyperbolic.
