    I'm working on a master's thesis that incorporates the display of
4D objects.  I've researched various articles in the computer graphics
world, but haven't come up with much besides the collection of 4D
visualization techniques that involve the display of the data as a 3D
object (e.g. marching cubes, cuberille, density emitters and the like.
I suspect that I'll be able to some find information in the math
sector.  Could anybody give me references to information on this
subject?

    My current plan is to view the data in 4D (with 4D light sources
and a 4D viewpoint), parallel project the object to 3D (does anybody
have a suggestion for another method of 4D --> 3D projection?), and
then apply regular visualization techniques to complete the imaging.
Another possibility is to bypass the 3D space and go directly from 4D
to 2D.

    I also remember another poster that recently asked a similar
question (sorry, I've since lost track of your message).
