What is 4D Toys?
4D Toys presents an innovative platform for exploring the intriguing world of four-dimensional space through interactive digital objects powered by a custom-built 4D+time physics engine. Users can poke, roll, throw, and manipulate a variety of 4D shapes, witnessing behaviors and patterns that challenge and expand their spatial intuition beyond the familiar three dimensions.
This tool offers over 100 visually captivating scenes, virtual reality support, and an intuitive slider to navigate the fourth spatial dimension, all designed to provide both educators and curious minds with an engaging hands-on approach to higher-dimensional mathematics and physics. It's not just an abstract visualization; users gain a tactile understanding of four-dimensional phenomena, such as fair dice with unique numbers of sides, tesseracts in motion, and non-intersecting 4D shapes, all within an open-ended, playful environment.
