Tutorial

We will take a short flight through a scene similar to stonehenge. This scene is used, because it is very simple and relatively easy to understand. World of Relativity allows you to fly through it in realtime.

It looks pretty boring at the start, but one gets a good impression of the scene. Now we accellerate to 96 percent of the speed of light.
You accellerate in the viewing direction by holding the button 'a' down. To accellerate in the opposite direction press 's'. To pause the simulation use the button 'p'. To change your flying direction press the left mouse button.
We are moving with about 288000 kilometers per second and the scene looks differently.

Now the scene looks differently. Two things happen.
First we are seeing the objects in our scene under different angles. This phenomenon is called aberration.
Second the colors have changed. This is caused by the Doppler effect. This may be pretty confusing. World of Relativity supports multiple views to make this clear. Click with the right mouse button in the render area. A context menu appears.

Click on the Split horizontally entry to split the view horizontally.

We see two views. In both views the visualisation of all the effects is enabled. This has to change. Click with in right mouse button in the left render area. In the context menu click on Effects->Disable Aberration.

We are beginning still flying toward the center.

We are now near the center. Note that the area you can see is pretty large. Look at the bottom plane.

We want to fly into the last cube. Here is a last picture before we are getting into it.

In the last cube we are seeing a large amount of its surface. Notice where the six sides of the cube are, you can see them all.

Your voyage is over. We are behind the last cube.
