Description

The Fourth Dimension is a 30-page interactive book that explains a single mathematical idea in language that anyone can understand. Instead of static images or canned videos, this app employs a unique 3D touch interface that lets you literally grasp the concept of the fourth dimension with your own hands.

“Not only can you blow your own mind over and over again, you can also enjoy watching your friends’ minds being blown in front of you.” — Cult of Mac

“One of the coolest apps I've ever used... The Fourth Dimension is to boring learning apps what Carl Sagan's Cosmos was to staid science documentaries.” — BuzzFeed

“The app is very cool, and it's unlike pretty much anything we've seen in the App Store.” — The Verge

“This is one of my most favorite iOS apps ever.” — George Musser, contributing editor for Scientific American and author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to String Theory

(App Store user reviews follow.)

“Blew my mind. I generally don't use 'learning' apps as they're mostly gimmicks. This one, though, truly made me think. I hope this developer comes out with more outstanding apps such as this one. Bravo!” — Iceitic

“Astounding. That some people care passionately enough about tesseracts to go create a fantastic app for others to understand them is incredible. The app is extremely well designed, wittily written, and executed with love. That alone is worth buying it, besides the fact that I learned what the hell a tesseract was.” — Duncan MacMichael

“Fantastic! This is what someone really smart, and who really knows how to teach well, can do with a tablet. And the authors are funny, too, which is a neat bonus.” — DNY

“Fantastic app. I work at a leading UK university. If only all our material was this well written and presented. Definitely worth buying and then spending a bit of time with over a day or two to get your head around the fourth dimension. Great app!” — JulesFM

“Great job! This app does the best job explaining the 4th dimension. Why learn it in some boring classroom when here you can have an interactive and visual explanation.” — Aco Strklalj

What makes sense?

Luhvhj on

A line needs 3D to exist. Therefore the demos are useless in explaining what they are trying to explain as they always have to use a 3D line to make drawings. Wish someone would explain that……

Sweet!

Now I understand why Dali painted the hypercube the way he did. I had a poster print of that painting on my wall 45 years ago, but wound up studying language instead of math. I’m still a math geek in my spare time, but for some reason I’d never gotten around to trying to manipulate a hypercube in 3 dimensions. I would say my education is complete, but it never will be, of course. But thanks for filling in this part—I’ll be seeing how many odd 3-D shadows I can make from this. And wondering about representing five dimensions in three. Since, after all, this 3-D tesseract is only really projected onto my 2-D iPad screen, so both the third and fourth dimensions are illusions of perspective.

Masterpiece! Buy It

Lost in Tactics on

This is a Masterpiece period. Let me explain why. First… I’m an idiot, so with that out of the way. Let me explain how this is perfect for the idiot. This elegantly put together app, mixes interaction with text in a non cluttered way. A wonderful neat small package where the text & graphics “are not fighting” for screen real estate… and because of this master design from their design team, we the user benefit from: • easy to interact with UI • instant retention of knowledge presented • smooth user experience = UX meaning click this, to do that • mini sentence structure, means instant processing of knowledge This brilliant & sympathetic design team of this app… MADE SURE, there are no more than four sentences on the screen at any given time. (using iPad Pro 12.9) so basically small bite size “super digestible” chunks, not a wall of text assaulting your visuals. All graphics are interactive, you can rotate.. etc. I hope this studio makes more of these higher topics or even basic physics topics presented in this same style. I WILL BUY EVERYTHING this studio puts out, if this bar they set in quality, remains the same. This studio has just become one of my favorite studios. For any ux and ui designers or sci fi story writers, or sci fi game designers. You need to buy this. For the story writers the concepts are as perfect as we can get to demonstrating such complex material. For UI & UX designers… this app is a MASTERCLASS in design. Study it! Everyone else, stop reading and go buy already! DEVS & DESIGN TEAM: Please.. give me more. I have money for you.

Awesome

So cool 😎

I want to interactively unfold a tesseract

yosunc on

How do you peel off its volumes the same way one would the surface area of a regular 3-space cube?

Tesseract

The best , most thorough exposition of the forth dimension that I have ever seen!

I’m a Physicist and I love this

Accurate-smart-imaginative!

Brilliant - Helped me with experiments

Cedar Park Tx on

Ok, I realize this will probably be the strangest review you’ve ever received. For years I’ve been filming objects that we don’t yet understand - those UAPs the Navy pilots filmed and other anomalies. I filmed an object that was changing shape in unpredictable ways, that is until I got this app! Now I have a much better understanding of how a 4th or other-dimensional object might behave at the boundary with our 3rd dimension world. This is the best explanation I’ve come across and is well worth the money!

Rip Off

App only includes a tesseract! Use Wikipedia to explore 4D shapes - so much better than this app! I wish I could get my money back.

Cool! I have some suggestions.

Ted ned fredy on

This app is awesome! It would be really cool if after doing the steps you could just play with a tesseract. It would also be cool if there were other four dimensional shapes you could play with until your brain hurts.
