Horizontal totally geodesic plane in Nil geometry

Raymarching in Nil geometry showing a horizontal totally geodesic plane. In Nil, horizontal planes (tangent to the xy-plane of the Lie group) are totally geodesic. The scene demonstrates how a flat surface appears when viewed through the non-Euclidean Nil metric. Controls: WASD to rotate, arrow keys to translate.
