A windows program to show you the weird effects of special relativity.

Online papers, images, movies and paper models.

The program xrel depicts, as realistically as possible, the appearance of stars as seen from a starship moving at speeds close to the speed of light.

Features visualization of relativistic deformation effects of a spaceship like object.

Software which demonstrates the effects of special and general relativity as the user steers a simulated spaceship through the solar system, through interstellar and intergalactic space. Requires Windows 98 or Windows XP.

A real time relativity simulator for Windows, Linux and OS/2, using OpenGL.

Interactive Flash animation of a smaller test mass in the gravitational field of a larger mass, following the laws of general relativity. The animation uses an unusual form of representation in which time is bent into a circle.

A short overview of special relativity, filled with relativistic ray traced images. Explains relativistic effects using a theoretical spaceship.

BACKLIGHT is a photorealistic relativistic visualisation system. Developed at the Australian National University by undergraduate student Antony Searle , it produces images and videos demonstrating the optical effects of special relativity.
