QuasiTiler, by Eugenio Durand (New! Version 2.0)
Generate your own nonperiodic tilings of the plane! Explore particular
sections of a 5-dimensional lattice to generate the famous Penrose tilings or
work with any lattice from 3 to 9 dimensions to produce a unique tiling you
can take home with you.
Lafite, by Adam Deaton
Work with any discrete symmetry group of the hyperbolic plane. Lafite will
calculate the fundamental region and generators of the group you chose. The
program then creates Escher-like patterns by replicating a motif through the
action of that group.
Teichmuller Navigator, by Deva van der Werf
Explore Teichmuller space, the space of all different angle geometries on a
genus two surface. Moving through this space is accomplished by shifting
vertices of a central octagon in a tiling of the hyperbolic plane by regular
octagons. But don't push too hard or you might leave the space!
Cyberview and Cyberview-X, by Paul Burchard
An interactive 3D viewer that works with any fill-out-form capable Web
browser. You can pick an object out of our predefined library, or you can
learn about the OOGL format and define your own 3D objects. You are free
to choose either version of Cyberview; the only difference is the rendering
system used by the server.
Unifweb, by Carlos O'Ryan
This program lets you discover and visualize Riemann surfaces with a
specified group of symmetries. Different families of surfaces can be
constructed for the same symmetry group by choosing different generators
and relations. The choice of a presentation corresponds geometrically to
constructing the surface as a cover of a particular orbifold.
