  2. Skybox (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skybox_(video_games)

    A skybox is a method of creating backgrounds to make a video game level appear larger than it really is. [1] When a skybox is used, the level is enclosed in a cuboid.The sky, distant mountains, distant buildings, and other unreachable objects are projected onto the cube's faces (using a technique called cube mapping), thus creating the illusion of distant three-dimensional surroundings.

  3. Lists of uniform tilings on the sphere, plane, and hyperbolic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_uniform_tilings...

    Special cases are right triangles (p q 2). Uniform solutions are constructed by a single generator point with 7 positions within the fundamental triangle, the 3 corners, along the 3 edges, and the triangle interior. All vertices exist at the generator, or a reflected copy of it. Edges exist between a generator point and its image across a mirror.

    Let be a metric space with distance function .Let be a set of indices and let () be a tuple (indexed collection) of nonempty subsets (the sites) in the space .The Voronoi cell, or Voronoi region, , associated with the site is the set of all points in whose distance to is not greater than their distance to the other sites , where is any index different from .

  5. Real projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_projective_plane

    The quotient map from the sphere onto the real projective plane is in fact a two sheeted (i.e. two-to-one) covering map. It follows that the fundamental group of the real projective plane is the cyclic group of order 2; i.e., integers modulo 2. One can take the loop AB from the figure above to be the generator.

  6. Special conformal transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_conformal...

    Thus the generation of a special conformal transformation involves use of multiplicative inversion, which is the generator of linear fractional transformations that is not affine. In mathematical physics, certain conformal maps known as spherical wave transformations are special conformal transformations.

  7. 3-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere

    Direct projection of 3-sphere into 3D space and covered with surface grid, showing structure as stack of 3D spheres (2-spheres) In mathematics, a hypersphere or 3-sphere is a 4-dimensional analogue of a sphere, and is the 3-dimensional n-sphere. In 4-dimensional Euclidean space, it is the set of points equidistant from a fixed central point.

  8. Klein bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle

    A two-dimensional representation of the Klein bottle immersed in three-dimensional space. In mathematics, the Klein bottle (/ ˈ k l aɪ n /) is an example of a non-orientable surface; that is, informally, a one-sided surface which, if traveled upon, could be followed back to the point of origin while flipping the traveler upside down.

  9. Hypersurface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersurface

    In geometry, a hypersurface is a generalization of the concepts of hyperplane, plane curve, and surface.A hypersurface is a manifold or an algebraic variety of dimension n − 1, which is embedded in an ambient space of dimension n, generally a Euclidean space, an affine space or a projective space.
