Visualizing the Fourth Dimension Using Color

Re: Visualizing the Fourth Dimension Using Color
#2I've thought a lot about visualising higher dimensions in 3D. Colour is a fantastic way to start, and it infact is adding 3 more dimensions (hue/saturation/lightness). If you could add other senses, e.g., touch, taste, pain, etc., you can sense even more dimensions.
However, one thing does strike you that no matter how many senses you incorporate, you will always navigate a particular 3D projection.

#3OR you can simply project the fourth dimension into 2D, much like how we project 3D pictures onto 2D screens. Here's an example http://jakebian.github.io/hypercanvas.js/

How do you mean? I can think of visualizations that do not.

Could you describe the visualizations you're thinking of?

It's a cool idea but I don't know how to comprehend what I'm looking at.

Great link!

#10Can someone give a two dimensional analogy to the unknotting example?
