Snail Song Vanilla Soundserver sonification of 3D shadows of soap films in the positively curved (spherical) 3-space.

Controls:

LEFT button toggles the homotopy on/off.

Wand direction affects rotation about your head (flymode) or about the object center (turnmode). Pointing the wand straight forward stops all rotation. Thumbbutton translates object in both modes.

The MIDDLE button toggles between FLYmode (yellow) and TURNmode (magenta).

Holding the MIDDLE button down and moving the wand in space translates the object rigidly with the wand. (Tractor mode.)

Holding the MIDDLE button down and clicking the RIGHT/LEFT button changes the size of the object relative to the CAVE.

Holding the MIDDLE button down and clicking the RIGHT & LEFT simultaneously (eventually) resets all parameters.
