Of course you can, and it would be different from the cross-sections seen in this video. I doubt it would ever become intuitive though, I suspect our brains are hard-wired for a 3d world.
Here's a video of a rotating 4d hypercube in a 3d perspective:

It's called a tesseract, and as each face of a 3d cube is a 2d cube (a square), each face of a 4d cube is a normal 3d cube, that we see skewed by the perspective.
- anotheryou 8y agoI'd say our brain is anything but hardwired. Sense-substitution works beautifully too and even a tool like a hammer or a mouse becomes one with your body through frequent use. Your linked video maps the 4th dimension to time, it doesn't project to 3D. Projecting through time (especially non-interactively) lacks the immediate feedback needed for the brain to grasp it as intuition.

You can clearly see at any point in time each of the 8 identical cubes making up the tesseract, skewed and resized by projection to a 3d perspective.
