ncube - A Generalized Hypercube Visualizer

ncube allows you to visualize hypercubes of arbitrary dimensions. It works by rotating the hyperdimensional vertices and applying a chain of perspective projections to them until the 3rd dimension is reached. Everything is generated in real time just from the dimension number.

Features

• Real time control of the simulation, such as tweaking the angular velocity factor of any plane of rotation
• Exporting and loading custom configurations as files

But what am I actually visualizing?

Let's use the 7-cube demo GIF above as an example. In that specific case, you are looking at:

• A 3 dimensional perspective projection of...
  • a 4 dimensional perspective projection of...
    • a 5 dimensional perspective projection of...
      • a 6 dimensional perspective projection of...
        • a 7 dimensional hypercube undergoing a rotation about the q1q4 (X-W1) and q2q3 (Y-Z) orthogonal planes.
