An incoherent spatial interferometer has been used to measure the shapes of circumsteliar dust envelopes at infrared wavelengths. The objects IRC +10216, VY CMa, and NML Cyg exhibit a large variation of fringe visibility with position angle Their circumstellar envelopes are probably flattened disks. For IRC +10216, visibility measurements from 5.0 to 20µm are discussed in detail to illustrate the physical information available from interferometric work. In VY CMa and NML Cyg, disk orientation is strongly correlated with polarimetric position angles and with the distribution of OH maser sources. Interferometric measurements are shown to be relevant to studies of star/planet formation and to studies of mass loss in long-period variables
