+`Pinhole` represents a pinhole, or perspective, camera model. It's used to project data from a 3D space to a 2D space, or to situate 2D content inside a 3D view. Read more about transforms that relate between spaces [here](https://www.rerun.io/docs/concepts/spaces-and-transforms#space-transformations).
