With Captain Einstein we are exploring the new possibilities\u00a0of Virtual Reality (VR) and 360\u00b0 video for science education and communication. For a theory like relativity, the immersive nature of VR allows one to discover the often abstract concepts in a different way,\u00a0 ‘from the inside’ so to speak. Furthermore the\u00a0 360\u00b0 technology proved to be crucial for our implementation of relativistic visualizations on real images.<\/p>\n
The goal of our project is indeed twofold. On the one hand we aim at enthusing the broad public for relativity and for science in general. On the other hand we hope that our movie, in combination with this website, can help students worldwide to gain a deeper insight into the beautiful theory of relativity. Of course nobody really ever stops being a student, we for one have learnt many new things by creating this project.<\/p>\n
