Normally when you pick cells closer to cell A than to cell B, you get a half-space. But if you are in a highly symmetric closed hyperbolic manifold, the result looks much more interesting.
This manifold is constructed of 260 right-angled dodecahedra (using HyperRogue's "field quotient" method). Two dodecahedra A and B in distance 5 are chosen, and walls are put on the dodecahedra which are closer to B than to A. (Each dodecahedron is in distance 1 to 12 adjacent dodecahedra.)
The earlier version: youtube.com/watch?v=c5XSugCQHuo
This version improves the sight range (7 absolute units during the whole video) and stabilizes the camera (we move along a geodesic).

![[360° VR] Portals to Non-Euclidean Geometries
This is a 360° VR version of our earlier video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqUv2JO2BCs
On this tour, portals will take us to various non-Euclidean geometries. This is not Minecraft!
A cool holonomy effect happened during this tour, but it was not explained by our guide Tehora! Have you found it? Please tell us in the comments!
