4D Viewer / Foundation Studies

3D → 2D

As a foundation for representing a 4D Rubik’s Cube in 3D, these prototypes explore how to communicate 3D structure, viewpoint, and interaction on a 2D screen.

Projection

3D Cube → 2D Projection

A demo that keeps the cube’s 3D state while projecting it onto a 2D canvas, allowing the viewpoint and cube to be rotated.
