Abstract dimensional model using motion, edge and depth cues. However, higher dimensions have been In two dimensions contour elements surround two proposed and considered for many years; with dimensional objects, in three dimensions surfaces the fourth dimension representing time, distance, surround three dimensional objects and in four a fourth spatial coordinate and even a spiritual dimensions hypersurfaces surround hyperobjects. realm.
