Yes, agreed. We thought it would be fair to call it a "simulation" of what your surroundings would look like if a black hole were within your FOV, but as you say we do not take into account all effects (time delays in particular w

In a nutshell, the app computes a map from texture coordinate to texture coordinate. This map is itself stored as a texture --- to obtain the value of the map on texture coordinates (x,y), one samples the texture at (x,y) and the resulting

There are several additional options you can select when using the app. The first lensing option you can select is "Static black hole". In this mode, we simulate a non-rotating (Schwarzschild) black hole. There are two submodes th
