so we all know that typical computer graphics images aren't actually 3d, they're 2d projects of theoretical 3d objects. my question is this: has anyone done something to view 4d objects as 3d projections, using VR? seems like it would allow us to much better visualize higher order primitives, but I haven't seen news about anyone doing this.

i wanna manipulate a hypercube, y'all.
