Relativistic Interactive Flight Simulation — •Stephan Preiß — Universität Hildesheim

To visualize relativistic phenomena like length contraction, time dilation and the aberration of light in an interactive simulation, we construct a virtual world with a drastically reduced speed of light. This was done in an interactive flight simulator developed by Christoph Keller. Here, the observer can move at relativistic velocities and sees the resulting images that are calculated with ray tracing methods. This program was now extended to support a surround view environment (CAVE).
