- HyperCuber 2.0 Movie
-
- This movie was created using HyperCuber 2.0, a freeware program by Greg
- Ferrar, and PICTs to Movie, a freeware program by David Rees. It shows
- a four-dimensional rotation of a four-dimensional cube (hypercube)
- projected onto three-dimensional space. Antialiasing was used to
- improve image quality.
-
- Two-Image Stereo was turned on to enhance the 3D effect. This is a
- "cross-eyed" stereo movie; if you look at the left picture with your
- right eye and the right picture with your left eye, the object will
- appear to be three-dimensional. To do this, you will need to cross your
- eyes. You should at first see four images-- focus until you see only
- three. It may be useful to hold a finger in front of your face, focus on
- it, and move it closer and farther from your face until you see three
- images behind it. When you can see three images, focus on the middle
- one. When it is in focus for both eyes, the object will look
- three-dimensional.
-
- This movie was made from individually saved frames from HyperCuber. So
- though you too can make movies with HyperCuber and PICTs to Movie, don't
- expect it to be easy; HyperCuber does not support QuickTime movie
- generation; it just lets you save still frames. Perhaps in a later
- version....
-
- HyperCuber 2.0 is available now from major Macintosh ftp sites. For
