That description presumes our temporal dimension is their fourth spatial dimension though. It also makes meaningful interaction basically impossible.

If it works more like Flatland and we have a shared temporal dimension then they're simply able to perceive us, inside and out, from what we would consider every direction simultaneously. In much the same way that we can see the inside and full circumference of a two dimensional circle.

They sound like they would make for invaluable medical staff, at least where diagnosis was concerned. Who needs a CT scan, they can just see a tumor, a messed up spine vertebrae, or anything else, plain as day.
