We have developed an innovative ray-tracing algorithm to describe  R elativistic  E ffects in  S pace T ime (“REST”). Our algorithm, called  REST-frame , simulates a generalized world in Spacetime and gives the fine details implicit in the Special Theory of Relativity that have not yet been made apparent. These novel simulations disclose the non-intuitive realm of Special Relativity and, by visualization means, advance beyond the findings of past revelations concerning relativistic effects.  Through the application of state-of-the-art computation technology and simulation techniques to earlier quests in Physics, REST-frame offers a flexible visualization tool to study some of the most exciting aspects of the natural world; particularly, the rich visual properties associated with the finite speed of light.
