 A CAS can compute and plot nearly every curve that can be represented by formulae, and packages like GeomView, MathLive, or MathGL3D allow a 3D representation of curved surfaces which can be rotated in real-time. These are used to discuss three models of the real projective plane: two-sheeted covering by the sphere, the disk-model, and the Roman surface of J. Steiner. Examples of projective curves on these surfaces will be presented.
