Four-Dimensional iPad

Posted by Greg at 01:28, 27 Jul 2012

I've used my iPad for gaming, for eBook reading, for taking notes and doing art. But I haven't yet used it to enter the fourth dimension. Until now...

The Fourth Dimension is a new app for iPad and iPhone. This app is a 30-page interactive book that explains the fourth dimension and lets you directly manipulate a 4D object called a tesseract using a unique touch-based interface.

This is the closest you will ever get to holding a chunk of the fourth dimension in your hand without using dangerous, expensive, and prohibitively theoretical lab equipment.

More information, and a link to the App Store, at the app's website. Love the app's icon too.

4D manipulation of a 3D object... projected on a 2D screen.

Or you can just nom a bit of Peyote and let the machine elves manipulate YOU like a hyperdimensional tesseracting accordion :P

for bringing this into my attention. Good clean family entertainment, but so far I have not seen any headcrabs jumping out of space-time anomalies. Well, I am keeping the red crowbar right next to the iPad...
