A look at 4D Toys, a box of four-dimensional toys made by the creator of the game Miegakure. It shows how objects bounce, roll and rotate in four spatial dimensions, which are explored through a 3D slice.

HN points to it as the most intuitive way to see how things move in four dimensions.

I was really impressed by this 4d toys video: ▶ this video Now what if time is an illusion and similar to the video objects in life simply appear to be bouncing in and out of our 3d realm? That would look a lot like time. But if we could see in 4d, we'd see that they're not really coming or going and could see all of their possible states at once. It might be like being able to see an entire movie all at once rather than frame by frame.
