I could imagine something like this being an amazing tool for teaching people about non-euclidean geometries and how things like distance can be so contorted in other spaces. In particular I'm thinking teaching people about special and general relativity where things can very quickly become very hard to visualize.

Really cool.

Check out "a slower speed of light", relativistic open source game demo made in unity: http://gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower-speed-of-light/

Unfortunately the movement is rather hard on the eyes, relativistic motion is not what you are used to after all.
