tesserpov.py contains a model of a 4-hypercube (i.e., a tesseract) which is projected to 3-space. The user may rotate the hypercube with 6 degrees of freedom, while observing the effect of the rotations on the 3-dimensional projection. The object is further projected to 2-space, as a shadow on the floor of the virtual space.
The user may also make a copy of the object, which can be rotated and translated with the handheld controller. Additionally, one may switch from a perspective view of the virtual world to a set of views described by orthographic camera projection.
| SZG button | Action |
| 0 | Cycle through rotation switches. Rotation parallel to xy -> yz -> xz -> xt -> yt -> zt -> xy. |
| 1 | Toggle selected rotation switch. |
| 2 | Activate handheld copy of hypercube (toggle). |
| 3 | Cycle through POV-Ray render resolutions: Square; h=w=128 -> 64 -> 32 -> 256 -> 128. |
| 4 | Toggle rotation speed: slow/fast. |
| 5 | Toggle camera projection type: perspective/orthographic. |
| 6 | Reverse direction of rotation. |
