This
video visualizes the apparent
geometry only.
The objects are colorless Lambertian (perfectly diffuse) reflectors.
The scene is illuminated by
Planck radiation with a temperature of 2,800 Kelvin.
The observer is moving with 90 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 3.2 Mb)
This
video visualizes the apparent
geometry and the Doppler effect, showing a noticeable blue shift.
The observer is moving with 90 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 3.2 Mb)
This
video shows completely relativistic
rendering of geometry and illumination.
The overall illumination is reduced
to one thousandth compared to that in
other two movies. Due to the transformation of radiance the objects
ahead are extremely bright.
