No shit? Next thing you say that there are no 3d games, because there are no 3d monitors. And those that say they are 3d as well as VR are just faking it, by using two 2d projections instead of one.

They were being a smart ass.

Just code up a lemmy plugin that lets you embed basic interaction for navigating 4D shapes, my dude. It's just basic eigenvectors.

Just wait until they figure out how eyes work

There are 2D monitors though.

You can project a 3d object into 2d space and you can do the same with 4d into 3d, but collapsing more than that generally loses too much information. Edit: If you include movement you can reduce this effect somewhat depending what you're doing.

Your portrait is now just a colored line the height of your subject, and this "4D cube" doesn't mean anything because it looks like a 3d cube with a smaller cube cut out of the middle of it. Unless you're really into geometry I guess it you dropped a /s.
