this is 4D

4D could mean lots of things. 4D ultrasounds are already widely used, and it's just 3d models that are see thru. OOOOHHH! I don't understand why any new system including Wii couldn't run that gif, so what's special about this?

No it isn't. The human mind is incable of viewing anything in 4D nor can we perceive anything in 4 dimensions. That animation is still a 3 dimensional shape. What the hell this has to do with system wars is beyond me. danielsmith2020

well EXCUSE me , but sony said the ps3 could achieve 4d graphics, and that is the scientific form of 4d.

Most of your teachers up to that point (especially history) have been lying to you.

More like America was already "discovered" and Europeans slaughtered the natives and poked a flag in the ground. But close enough, a lie anyhow.

It all adds up.. I should quit school now and just get learn it all from geniuses on system wars like your fine self

no vikings didbut that isn't 4d. the fourth demision is time and yes we con percive things in 4d but notthing more. scientists belve that space is mad up of 10 or 11 demisions, but we can only percive 4

now imagine a game like that, how trippy would that be?

that made me laugh. Very true, funny how history is shaped by current events. America? Always good right? Then explain Iraq.

That is impressive, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Cell processor COULD do something similar to it, but I have to admit it has little to do with gaming.Supernova_86

It has everything to do with Gamming can someone post that vidoe of hwo 4d graphics would be implemented into vidoegames?

I see some of you aren´t too bright, it basically means a game will age, and change with time, not just the main character, but the world, fauna and flora, ppl will age, buildings will decay...Eddie-Vedder

Always a good way to enter a discussion and make your point heard. How exactly would not knowing this obscure fact about Sony's promises makes anyone "not too bright" again?

Well, actually - although the Vikings were the first Europeans to have discovered America, (and to have set up a small colony if memory serves me correctly?) apparently the Native Americans were already present when the Vikings discovered America.

Yeap, we can'tsee the fourth dimension (according to current physics theories that derive from string theory) If you were able to see the fourth dimension you would see for any object it's current state and it's past and futures states all at once. Basically a lifelike timeline of that object. yOu really can't comprehend how that would look, since we can't see it. If someone wants to know the other dimensions, just pm me lol, it's gets even crazier.

And did someone say that sony said they could use the fourth dimension in gaming. I would really like to know how they plan to do that.

I always thought that the 4th dimention was time, which is just stuff moving so yes that would be 4D and that would mean games have already reached the 4th dimention. So yeah....seldead

Maybe we are seeing a 4th dimension but we don't recognize its existance?/twilight zone theme.

The Fourth Dimension is Time. Anything rendered in real time would then be considered 4D.

This is a Tesseract which is the forth dimension of a 3D cube.This is where motion along the fourth dimension is often a representation for bounded transformations of the cube through time. Any questions that aren't stupid?

Correction, we are only concious of 3 dimensions.

good job, you watched the video on finding the 10th dimension.

the cube object was easy to understand, this one is pretty complicated:?

btw that kinda looks like the triforce sometimes lol

I've just done some reading on the many dimensions of the universe. Time is not a spatial dimension. The image posted on this topic represent the fourth spatial dimension as mentioned before by oen of the posters. He also said their are theories of ten or eleven dimensions which theorists believe some of which compacted while the dimensions we are aware of exploded to form the universe as we know it. The big bang theory. What the PS3 '4th dimension' refers to if i remeber correctly is grapics through time. There are basically two meanings when refering to the fourth dimenion, time and the fourth spatial dimensiin. Now there is a third when refering to computers.

That is how I understand it anyways. If I'm wrong please elaborate.

*looks at own sig*

:lol:, I've seriously had a good laugh reading this thread. I can't believe people are still all over the PS3 4D thing, and trying to explain it!

If I hadn't already done it enough times I would enlighten you all on this subject matter, but I did it enough times when Sony first mentioned their 4D powers :lol:.

That clearly only has 3 dimensions, were did all this 4d **** come from? do cows not understand that its impossible to have a 4th dimension? there is width, hight and depth......whats the 4th?

and when i say its impossible to have a 4th dimension i mean in video games. and im talking about the graphics......if time is really the 4th dimension then whats the big deal? games have had day/night cycles for a long time.
