Summary: In the frame of a generic language extended from the polarization theory -- comprising the notions of Poincaré vectors, Poincaré sphere, and P-spheres -- a geometric approach to Lorentz transformations alternative to the Minkowskian one is given. Unlike the four-dimensional Minkowskian approach, this new approach operates in the three-dimensional space of Poincaré vectors.
