    I'm sure one of you guys could go onto www.vixy.net and convert that youtube video to a downloadable video... then use a video tracer program to turn it into a show??

    I'm new to the world of computerised lasers at least... i'm in the middle of building my first galvo-projector right now actually! a 20kpps set, and ive got my first modulated laser on the way too... a 150mW 532 . Oh and mamba black will be mine in the middle of January too!
    before that i was just doing geometric patterns with that 'lissajous' program, and two crappy open loop galvo's with my ebay laser pointer lol.
    BUT ANYWAY! i should have put this in a new post, as it's my first ever one... ive been quietly reading up on everything on here for a looong time now! Hi all!

    I want to see it in full 3D!

    Does someone have a single frame of one of these tesseract things? I could throw it in pangolin's abstract generator and do some neat things.

    Here is a 3D shadow of a frozen 4D Tesseract that you can only see in 2D!

    These things give me a headache just thinking about them. Multidimensional analysis is OK, but animating the projection of the rotation of a hypercube is just mean. Mathematically it isn't particularly hard, though I think it would take some time to realize it.

    Perhaps it would just be easiest just to contact an expert...

    BTW, I much prefer the pentachoron before the tesseract.

    I'm pretty sure there is no way to make a "real" view of a 4D tesseract in a 3D space that is only viewed from a single point; thus making it a 2D image.

    I think that no matter what you did in 3D, that would only be one of an infinite number of possible shadows of the 4D object. So looking at that 3D data from any single point of view to make it a 2D image would be pointless.

    Allthat... your avatar is cool!

    James.

    This opens in anarchy as a flat 2D object.

    Holly Crap!

    The 3D output of LaserBoy is busted!

    Oops!
