Abstract: We show that the family of $m$-dimensional isotropic projections in $R^{2n}$ is transversal. As an application we show that the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem holds for isotropic projections. We also use transversality to obtain almost sure estimates on the Hausdorff dimension of isotropic projections of subsets $Esubset{R}^{2n}$. These results may also be applied to gain information on the horizontal projections of the Heisenberg group $H^n$.
