If we’re able to create the illusion of the 3rd dimension on our 2-dimensional screens, why aren’t we able to simulate/create the illusion of the 4th dimension in our 3-dimensional world?

Our brains are programmed to perceive 3 dimensions so that’s a lot of help with depicting 3 dimensions in 2D. Our brains fill in the information. Our brains are programmed to perceive time as linear rather than as a spatial dimension so it goes the other way. To present 4D in 3D is counter to how our brains operate.
