Hypercube 3D Computer Animation

Computer animated movie of a rotating four-dimensional hypercube, perspectively projected into 3D as stereoscopic left and right images, to be viewed cross-eyed. The computer animation was performed at Bell Labs in the mid 1960s. This is one the first stereoscopic digital computer animations. The image quality became degraded during the process in which the original 16-mm film was digitized.

Please update with 1080p and colors!

This is actually a 2D video which simulates a 4d cube in 3d.

spaces too far apart, but managed to see the 3d after i shrunk the screen, and its pretty freaking awesome

[Cod1God]

Watch while high its amazing!!!

Need hidden sides/places algorithm for these image programs. It'd be nice if a user could Enter Control on rotation w a choice of combinations of 4 type rotations, or 9 or more. A Cube has 4 major diagonals so one can sensibly choose more than 3 axes. Fixed Axes in 4th Dim, are planer-cross-sections. The 8 3D Cubes that make the Outer Surface - one can show 3D people swimming around in them, or unmoving 3D hunks "spots." If a 4D person turns a simple Cube 180 the people are mirror imaged, Alice.

@lancslad2009 this is the 4D. Move a flat Square out in the third D, and there is a Cube - with the starter square and ending square - and the 4 out sides of the starter square turn into 4 sq.s themselves - a total of six squares on the outside of a cube and the stuff in the middle. Notice all the x,y values are unchanged. The "middle cube" is the FAR cube asto the 4D viewer, if it isn't obscured (by opaqueness) then its "smaller" in the sense it is farther away - it's not inside.

try crossing your eyes and staring at this! it makes it look 3d!

@Amaroqdricaldari no it was made in the 1960's.

@Amaroqdricaldari I suggested either a shooter game or a puzzle game. Say their was a game where nazis got control of a device that allowed them to travel in four dimensional space and your main character who was american got the same device and so you have a war game that simulated 4d space. I can't really think of how it would look.

[Amaroqdricaldari]

@Amaroqdricaldari But you know what would be REALLY nice? A game using 4-Dimensional Geometry. Something like that would sell big.

[Amaroqdricaldari]

1080p, Color, less shaking, proper Steroscopic 3D. Things that would make this alot better.

But I forgive him, this video was made in 2006.

[lancslad2009]

i get whats happening =D

the middle cube is going up and down and spinning and becomeing larger i gess :P
