In this thesis we show that the infinitesimal rigidity of point-hyperplane frameworks in En is equivalent to the infinitesimal rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in Sn with a set of joints (corresponding to the hyperplanes) located on a hyperplane in Sn. This is done by comparing the rigidity matrix of Euclidean point-hyperplane frameworks and the rigidity matrix of spherical frameworks. This result clearly shows how the first-order rigidity in projective spaces and Euclidean spaces are globally connected. This geometrically significant result is central to the thesis. This result leads to the equivalence of the first-order rigidity of point-hyperplane frameworks in En with that of bar-joint frameworks with a set of joints in a hyperplane in En. This result and some of its important consequences are also presented in the coauthored paper [17]. We also study the rigidity of point-hyperplane frameworks in En and characterize their rigidity. We next highlight the relationship between point-line frameworks and slider mechanisms in the plane. Point-line frameworks are used to model various types of slider mechanisms. A combinatorial characterization of the rigidity of pinnedslider frameworks in the plane is derived directly as an immediate consequence of the analogous result for pinned bar-joint frameworks in the plane. Using fixednormal point-line frameworks, we model a second type of slider system in which the slider directions do not change. Also, a third type of slider mechanism is introduced in which the sliders may only rotate around a fixed point but do not translate. This slider mechanism is defined using point-line frameworks with rotatory lines (no translational motion of the lines is allowed). A combinatorial characterization of the generic rigidity of these frameworks is coauthored in [17]. Then we introduce point-hyperplane tensegrity frameworks in En. We investigate the rigidity and the infinitesimal rigidity of these frameworks in En using tensegrity frameworks in Sn. We characterize these different types of rigidity for point-hyperplane tensegrity frameworks in En and show how these types of rigidity
