    It’s a hypothesis that our perceived ability to see things as “3D” is just a holographic effect, exactly how a 2D hologram gives rise to the illusion of a 3D object.

    Not that out there, especially if you consider VR, or anything in 3d on a computer, is borne from 2D instructions.

      Now I want a 5- or 6-dimensional VR game where head tracking rotates the camera in one set of dimensions while the right stick rotates it in another

        My hypothesis is if you found a way to send “sensory” data about points in the 4D universe to a brain, perhaps a very young brain, that brain could develop an intuition for 4D space and motion.
