Abstract
We study the link between a compact hypersurface in and the set of all its tangent planes. In this context, we identify to the set of linear subspaces of codimension one by orthogonal complementarity. This gives rise to a kind of duality which has already been studied Bruce and Romerro-Fuster, and relates a hypersurface to the set of its tangent planes. But in these papers the dual, in this sense, of the set of tangent planes of a hypersurface was not defined and iteration of the procedure was not possible. Therefore we extend this type of duality to more general sets and achieve a procedure which can be iterated and gives in fact an involution.
