Using ps-laser pulses and ultra-fast photography with gating times as short as 300 ps , we achieve a virtual reduction of the speed of light to less than 2 m/s.

Our results comprise simulations and experimentally synthesized snapshots of a sphere and a cube.

In order to arrive at the same time at the camera, a photon from point A (closest to the camera) must be emitted when the photon from B passes point A.

The camera takes a snapshot of an elongated object as depicted in Fig . 1b .

Figure 2a , b visualize the Lorentz contracted sphere, which points its north pole towards the camera.

With a series of slices fi,j, where the indices i and j denote timing and position, respectively, a movie can be created by combining slices to frames Sn of the moving object.

A single frame contains 17 slices.

Acquiring data from 32 positions, we can create an animation with 49 frames (the animations can be seen in the supplementary movies 1&2).
