    Henry Segerman and collaborators demonstrate virtual reality experiences in non-Euclidean spaces, including hyperbolic and mixed hyperbolic-Euclidean geometry. The browser-based demos let viewers move through these spaces and show how strange the geometry feels from inside.

    Cited as the go-to example of hyperbolic geometry made intuitive through VR.

      I'm cautiously optimistic about VR as a tool for teaching and understanding math up to three dimensions. You may have seen the "Non-euclidian virtual reality" video floating around YouTube ( this video ).

    2. @thealigJan 2022· in “Geometry from Another Universe”

      reminds me of the demonstration of hyperbolic geometry in VR by Henry Segerman ( this video ). there is a browser demo too where you can 'fly' through the small world ( [LINK] )
