in the world we are now the  space had 3 dimensions...

 

The majority of the animals  have  evolved a bilateral symmetry  shape.......besides some  simple  creatures  that  have  no  symmetry  or some other  simple ones having  radial symmetry
In plants  but the main  bodies  like the  trunks of trees and  branches again have  radial symmetry or the  fruits mainly  have  radial......but the  leafs mostly  have  bilateral.....

Also in  animals  those  who  have 3 dimensional vision  have two  eyes that have a large portion of each eyes field of view  common  with the  other one and the two eyes must not me too close to each other  i mean  the animal  needs two  visions that are  only  slightly different from each other .....to  be able  to see depth and have a 3 dimensional vision

Im thinking  what if the world had a 4 dimensional space   would the creatures in that  case evolve a shape that had like three sided symmetry ? and  for  those animals   in order to have 4 dimensional vision they needed 3 eyes located near each other  * not too near not too far and all those  three  eyes  must  have  a large portion of their fields  in common with each other ?

* Please dont laugh @ me or post mean comments if  these questions is  funny in your  pov......

No. Two eyes allow to estimate a distance to an object in 3 dimensions, 2 dimensions, 4 dimensions, etc. You have a triangle with the known length of one side and two angles. From these, the brain computes the distance.

No  one is laughing at you.

You have some good thoughts.

One definition of a dimension is "the number of independent pieces of information (co ordinates) you need to specify the position of a point.

So you need for instance one distance from 1 point in 1 dimension, two distances from two points in two dimensions, 3 distances from three points in 3 dimensions and 4 distances from 4 points in 4 dimensions.

But eyes are not points, as Genady says they have visual overlap - they are two dimensional patches.
This is how the brain can get the extra information requires to measure in 3 dimensions.

Again but as swansont says, 4 dimensions introduces extra complications so more detail is necessary.
