We can map 3D sooo nicely in to 2D. Can we map 4D in to real 3D (e.g. with 3D glasses and VR) and get something that might become intuitive after a few weeks of usage?

I wonder if at some point you could quickly graps something rather simple like a 4D scatter-plot. Though I could just encode the 4th Dimension in color and get used to it I guess. Maybe I should write my own styleguide for visualizations to get a native feel for such things.

The moving lights on the hypershpere allowed for a glimpse of making senso of thet 4D, but in general I couldn't follow just yet, even less: grasp it.

I thin you should fix the HN title, in case it's not too late. The video also have English subtitles. Reading the title, I expected a video in French with French subtitles, and I can't understand French (well, just a little).

What about "The hypersphere: the four-dimensional sphere [with English subs]" (youtube.com)

Great idea - Unless I'm missing something, I don't think I can edit it myself?

It's probably too late. I think you can edit the title only for a few hours. In case of an emergency you can email the mods ( hn@ycombinator.com ) but I don't think this qualifies as an emergency. Take this as a suggestion for the next submission.
