| Topological Slide: Enneper's Surface | |||||||||
 |
Enneper's minimal surface is essentially a disk warped into a saddle shape which intersects itself as its edge is extended toward infinity. In the Enneper-Weierstrass parameterization used here, the edge happens to always lie on a sphere. The image at top left is from a chroma key video composite. It shows a Topological slide rider immersed in virtual space and looking up at the overarching form of Enneper's surface as it curves away from the center point of the parameterization. _____________________________________________________ |

| The stereoscopic pair of images below give a distant view of Enneper's minimal surface. It is possible to view them as a single 3D image by staring at them and slightly crossing the eyes until the images merge. | |||||||||

The following image sequence shows the riders point of view as recorded from one video input of the stereoscopic HMD. The sequence begins up near the boundry of one of the funnel shaped extremeties of the Jorge-Meeks Trinoid and progresses as the rider slides down toward the open polar region and continues along the edge of the hole.
