A journey into a Kerr black hole -- First person visualization of general relativity — •Thomas Reiber — Universität Hildesheim

What would an observer falling into a rotating black hole see? The view of an observer moving in Kerr spacetime on a geodesic or accelerated path is calculated using general relativistic ray tracing. Covering the whole maximal analytic extension of Kerr spacetime requires a multitude of coordinate patches. On the poster we show some representative pictures from the created movies, the complete movies can be seen during the poster session.
