Earth and moon in Nil geometry, with viewpoint-dependent distortion from non-commutative translations

Raymarching in Nil geometry with earth-textured and moon-textured spheres. The twisted metric of Nil causes the relative appearance of the two objects to change as the viewpoint rotates, illustrating the non-commutativity of translations in this geometry. Controls: WASD to rotate, arrow keys to translate.
