Surface Explorer vs Black Hole

Surface Explorer is a high-performance visualizer for intricate mathematical surfaces — 2D manifolds embedded in three- or four-dimensional space, and 3D slices of four-dimensional hypersurfaces — bringing abstract geometry to life with real-time GPU rendering. KEY FEATURES • Cross Section — slice four-dimensional hypersurfaces and watch their 3D sections change shape as you rotate them in 4D or slide the cutting plane along the fourth axis, even along a 4D camera path. • Ray Marching Engine — real-time rendering of implicit surfaces and signed-distance fields, with procedural displacement, transparency, adjustable shells, and a precise mode for high-degree equations. • Multi-Mesh Surfaces — build figures from several independent grids, set with a single field or a script, each with its own color, transparency, texture, image and domain. • Solid Curve — write a curve in 3D or 4D and see the tube drawn around it, with adjustable thickness; several tubes from a script. • Surface Borders — add a tube along the edges of a parametric surface, with its own color, texture and thickness. • Geodesic Flow — explore intrinsic geometry on curved manifolds (S³, H²×R, SL(2,R) and more), integrating geodesics from initial conditions. • 4D Spatial Exploration — dedicated controls for hyperspatial rotation (Omega, Phi, Psi), projection, and 3D and 4D camera paths. • 4D Lighting Models — Directional, Observer, and Slice lighting designed for hyperspace. • Dynamic GLSL Scripting — write custom shaders for procedural textures and surface logic in the built-in editor. • Backgrounds — images and procedural effects, fixed on screen or wrapped around the scene as a sphere, cylinder or cube. • Audio-Visual Synthesis — synchronize geometric parameters with a mathematical sound synthesizer. • Video Recording — capture your explorations directly in the app and save them to your device. A library of ready-made presets ships with the app, from classic parametric surfaces to black-hole ergospheres, curved-space tori and slices of the 3-torus, together with a searchable built-in manual. Built with Qt and Metal for smooth, native performance on iPhone and iPad.

Fly around a spinning black hole rendered in real time on your device's GPU. Every pixel traces a ray of light through curved Kerr spacetime, so what you see is what general relativity actually predicts: the dark shadow, the far side of the accretion disk lensed up over the top, the thin photon ring, Doppler beaming that brightens the approaching side of the disk, and gravitational redshift near the horizon. • Adjust the black hole's spin, the disk temperature and the camera distance • Drag to orbit, pinch to zoom, two-finger drag to look around • Cinematic tour mode, plus a dive toward the event horizon • Live readouts: horizon radius, innermost stable orbit, time dilation • Disk colours from physically based blackbody spectra • Relativistic jets and bloom, with quality presets for every device No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
