Beautiful, amazing and deep; that is the Hyperdo in a nutshell.

Just as 3D objects can cast flat (2D) shadows, 4D objects can cast 3D shadows. THAT is what this model represents:


The Hyperdo is a 3D projection of a 4D object called the 120-cell (aka Hyperdodecahedron).

But instead of trying to understand these words, get your hands on this kit and enjoy this stunning model! 

Here's a YouTube video on building the Hyperdo by Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick at Wired magazine (he co-founded Wired in 1993):
