Mushware - Tesseract Trainer Movie
This is a nice piece of software that will help people visualize beyond the 3 physical dimensions that we consider intuitively in every day life. These guys also have a game that will immerse you in a 4D world.
It is a nice way to think of visualizing multi-dimensional data to derive information. After watching for a while you can get the sense of similarities and relationships between different subsets of data, represented by the lines, surface areas and shading in the image.
Amazing the complexity that comes from adding one more dimension to a cube! However, the fractal nature of the resultant images tends to indicate that the complexity can be managed by comparing like areas with each other, which is what business people do every day when they compare data sets over the time dimension, but today they often have to do it without visual aids like this.
Some business people still have to try and achieve the picture in their heads via static paper based reports, although, increasingly, we see the use of Business Intelligence tools to produce both canned and dynamic reports from both relational and multi-dimensional storage objects.
