1. David Banks, "Interactive Manipulation and Display of
Two-Dimensional Surfaces in Four-Dimensional Space" in 1992
Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics, pp. 197
Comment: A paper primarily on intuitive manipulation of
surfaces in four dimensions. Usage of multiple devices for input
and intersecting with planes to allow seeing the internal
structure of the surface.

The Geometer's Sketchpad
Comment: A very nice Java Applet focusing on how to start from
1D cube and work your way up to a 4D cube.
7. H. van der Wal,
HyperCube Game.
Comment: A neat game in three and four dimensions, of trying to
avoid hitting a hypercube with a ball. Allows for stereo vision
as well.

Sonographic Volume Data, Intl. Journal of Imaging
Systems and Technologies, Vol. 8, 1997, pp. 26
Comment: Another common practice, data acquired in a 3D cubical
lattice, with an associated value at each point, requires four-dimensional
visualization. Also known as volume rendering.
