Two flavors: literal (math/physics dimension - 三维, 3D) and figurative (perspective - 维度, from the X dimension/angle). The figurative use has exploded in tech and consultancy writing.
mistakes
Don't confuse with 纬度, latitude. (wéi) = to tie / dimension; (wěi) = woof / horizontal - keep the versus + difference straight.
