: the four-dimensional analogue of a cube

What exactly is this thing?

Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland tells the story of a 2D square observing a sphere from the third dimension. This web app is meant to simulate the mystery and confusion of experiencing something from a dimension above. As you drag your mouse (or finger) across the image, the tesseract rotates and provides a different take on the image. Each word has the ability to be rotated separately, so try out different combinations!
