You can move the points A, B and C (click on the point and drag it).
Press the keys “+” and “−” to zoom in or zoom out the visualization window and use the arrow keys to translate it.
You can also construct all centers related with this one (as described in ETC) using the “Run Macro Tool”. To do this, click on the icon , select the center name from the list and, then, click on the vertices A, B and C successively.

Trilinears a2cos A : b2cos B : c2cos C
Barycentrics a3cos A : b3cos B : c3cos CX(184) is the homothetic center of triangles ABC and A'B'C', the latter defined as follows: let B1 and C1 be the points where the perpendicular bisector BC meets sidelines CA and AB, and cyclically define C2, A2; A3, B3. Then A'B'C' is formed by the perpendicular bisectors of segments B1C1, C2A2, A3B3. (Fred Lang, Hyacinthos #1190)
X(184) is the subject of Hyacinthos messages 5423-5441 (May, 2002). In #5423, Alexei Myakishev notes that X(184) serves as a common vertex of three triangles inside ABC, mutually congruent and similar to ABC. (The triangles can be labeled XBcCb, XCaAc, XAbBa, with Bc and Cb on side BC, Ca and Ac on side CA, and Ab and Ba on side AB.) See

In #5435, Paul Yiu cites Fred Lang's construction of X(184) and notes that the three triangles are then easily constructed from X(184). The triangles determine three other triangles with common vertex X(184); in #5437, Nikos Dergiades notes that the vertex angles of these are 4A - π, 4B - π, 4C - π, and that
X(184) = X(63)-of-the-orthic-triangle = X(226)-of-the-tangential-triangle
X(184) = homothetic center of the orthic triangle and the medial triangle of the tangential triangle.
X(184) lies on these lines:
