Given an embedded hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$ we consider families of projections $H$ of $M$ to lines and families of projections $P$ of $M$ to 3-spaces. We characterize generically the singularities of these projections. We also show that there is a duality relation between some strata of the bifurcation sets of $H$ and $P$, and deduce geometric properties about these sets.
