Four glass panes form a window in space. Drag or use arrow keys to turn the camera; Home restores the front view. The rings are a visual flourish.

HYPERCUBE / AN EXPLORABLE SPACE

Curiosity has
another dimension.

I build technology that helps people learn. Sometimes the best way to understand an idea is to turn it, question it, and see it from a new angle.

A square gains a new direction to become a cube. Give a cube one more independent direction and you get a tesseract. We can explore its projection, just as a cube casts a flat shadow.
