Take a look at IDLgrVolume and xobjview. In newer versions of IDL
you
can rotate the view and update the data easily.

For example (assuming IDL 8.0+),

v = bytscl(randomu(seed,100,100,100))
o = IDLgrVolume(v, /interpolate)
xobjview, o, tlb=tlb
o->SetProperty, data0=bytscl(randomu(seed,100,100,100))
xobjview, refresh=tlb

This will create the visualization and then update the data in the
visualization. I think this would work for your 4D data set. Look at
the help for xobjview and IDLgrVolume for control and hints on
improving rendering.
