🕹️ A Slower Speed of Light (Web Port)

Ever wondered what the world would look like if you could walk close to the speed of light?

Originally developed by MIT Game Lab, A Slower Speed of Light is a first-person simulation where the laws of physics shift as you collect orbs and approach relativistic speeds. The game visually demonstrates phenomena such as time dilation, length contraction, Doppler shift, and the searchlight effect—without needing a physics degree to enjoy.

This browser-based version was created to make the game more accessible for educational use, removing the need to install or download anything. It aims to help students, educators, and curious minds experience the core concepts of relativity directly in their browser—on any device, anywhere.
