Is it possible to display a 4-dimensional hyper cube with computer animation?

As a 4D cube can be expressed mathmatically, an algorithm can be written that will display it on a 2 dimensional computer screen.  Displaying the figure is one thing, interpreting and understanding a 4D figure displayed on a 2D screen with a brain that can only comprehend 3 dimensions is something else entirely.

pretty sure he meant gif animation..\n\nI've included a link to a good site that explains the process and a link to a inexpensive commercial software for building them.

Mathematically n dimensions can be described but our experience is only 3 dimensions So the properties of fourth dimensonal shapes can be mathematically described and a fourth dimensional quantity that is in units^4 can also be calculated\n\nThis is an argument that the 4th dimension is time. That cannot be the case when one considers the properties in 3d are L, L, and L One would immediately envisage that the 4th, 5th .... nth dimensions would also all be L\n\nA tesseract, the 4 dimensional equivalent to the 2 dimensional square and 3 dimensional cube, is not a time related object at all. Its 3D projection can be build and the objects equivalent of a 2D shadow seen easily. In 4-space it occupies L^4 units^4. Wikepedia has some interesting information and projections of a tesseract

Have you looked into OpenGL

try onion skinning in flash make frames and in each fram edit the mouths and legs in different directions.\nIn Fireworks\nMake frames of the same image at least ten. Edit each image separately and export as animated gif.

They are computer generated graphics.

you need sme software like Ulead GIF Animator... but it's not free...

macromedia flash would work great for that kind of animation. You just need to look on the music bar where there's a beat (spike on the sound line) and insert a frame change on that frame.

you can always use flash or corel presentations (i think you have to export it) or windows movie maker

You don't... or at least not very well.\n\nFor a free tool to make vector animations, try InkScape.\n\nhttp://www.inkscape.org

Microsoft Visio could work for that.  There are other programs that exist too.

umm gif isn't your best option, if you want on that still moves you sould use Macromedia Flash... it is supported by all browsers and is the most versatile animation today.

animations and simulations uses matrices extensively

I desperately need to see a computer motion graphic of birds called terns in a flock as they twist and turn in the air.  I need the triangular space BETWEEN the birds marked in the motion graphic like little sails.  The triangular sails shift and redefine themselves as the flock of birds fly and twist and undulate.  I need to see just all those triangles and not the birds themselves.  If someone could do that for me, I could probably answer the Great and Mysterious Secret of the Universe.   : )   I'm looking at Chaos in nature. I can pretty much see it with my own eyes.  But, gosh, I wish I had the computer skills to make that happen like I describe above.
