Imagine you are living on the surface of a cylinder, and the light rays in your world "stick" to the cylinder. This video is similar, but with one dimension more: we are exploring the "surface" of a spherinder!
In this geometry, a small brick, when watched from a specific location, will look like a huge ring around you... more precisely, not one ring, but a series of concentric rings.

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!
