HyperspaceExplorer

Introduction

Hyperspace Explorer is a program that lets you visualize four-dimensional objects and mathematical functions.

Just as you can define objects in three-dimensional space, you can define objects with four dimensions. And just as three-dimensional objects can be projected onto a plane, four-dimensional objects can be projected into three-space.

This program uses this approach to acquaint you with a couple of four-dimensional objects. Four-dimensional objects are projected to three dimensions, and then displayed on the computer monitor (after a further projection to two dimensions).

Every object thus is viewed from a viewpoint in four dimensions, as well as a viewpoint in three dimensions. That leaves freedom for plenty of viewing transformations. You can translate and rotate what is displayed in three and four dimensions, to get a better feeling for the objects and for four-space manipulations.
