C-Ship

http://www.fourmilab.ch/cship/
A short overview of special relativity, filled with relativistic ray traced images. Explains relativistic effects using a theoretical spaceship.
Interactive Visualization of Gravitation as Spacetime Curvature

http://www.adamtoons.de/physics/gravitation.swf
Interactive Flash animation of a smaller test mass in the gravitational field of a larger mass, following the laws of general relativity. The animation uses an unusual form of representation in which time is bent into a circle.
OpenGL Relativistic Spacetime Project

http://spacetime.sourceforge.net/
A real time relativity simulator for Windows, Linux and OS/2, using OpenGL.
Relativistic Ray Traced Images

http://www.fourmilab.ch/cship/cship.html
Features visualization of relativistic deformation effects of a spaceship like object.
Relativistic Starflight
