About:
A first-person game developed by MIT Game Lab that visualizes relativistic effects by gradually slowing down the speed of light as you play. It serves as an interactive educational tool to demonstrate concepts like time dilation, length contraction, and the Doppler effect in a 3D environment.
Key Features:
  • Interactive visualization of special relativity
  • Gradual introduction to relativistic effects
  • First-person 3D exploration gameplay
  • Educational tool from MIT Game Lab
  • Open-source project with modding support
Use Cases:
  • Educational demonstration of physics concepts
  • Interactive learning tool for students
  • Game-based exploration of scientific principles
Alternatives:
  • Universe Sandbox – Focuses on astrophysics and gravity simulation rather than relativistic effects at human scale
  • Space Engine – Planetarium software for cosmic exploration without the specific educational focus on relativity
