Turn your Apple device into a virtual tube of wonder! This program is a collection of mesmerizing and beautiful effects and images of kaleidoscopes.

While this program is a virtual toy, the real deal is made from a tube of mirrors containing loose beads, pebbles, and other small and ornate objects. Typically, the tube has two or more mirrors, and the angle of the mirrors dictates the number of images that are seen.

As the tube of mirrors is rotated, the tumbling of the objects inside the tube presents the viewer with varying and random hues and patterns.

Modern kaleidoscopes are made of brass, stained glass, wood, steel, gourds, or any other material that the creator can sculpt or manipulate. They can be liquid filled, too!

While the Greeks invented the kaleidoscope, they were reintroduced to America in 1816.
