Don Doak caught our attention with his Musical Geodesy parlor scope. His quest for the optical fantasy had only just begun. He continues to amaze and amuse us.
The Kaleidosphere II image is produced on an internal television screen, which can be hooked up to your own television or to its own VCR or DVD. Six three-mirror converging systems are arranged in front of the screen, thus creating the image. Sounds simple? Kaleidosphere is quite a complex design, which is easy to operate and affords endless hours of optical delight. Because of its complex mirror arrangement, Kaleidosphere II produces six individual spheres, each with its own unique images. Combined, they produce the perfect sphere of dancing colors blending and dividing before your eyes.
As pictured here, we are viewing Fantasia. Walt Disney produced Fantasia to be the perfect blend of audio and visual stimulus. When one views Fantasia through the Kaleidosphere, one realizes Walt Disney's dream, seeing Fantasia the way it deserves to be viewed. Fantasia is one of the many optical fantasies to be viewed in the Kaleidosphere. If the Kaleidosphere II is hooked-up parallel with your TV, while you watch the evening news, it can also be viewed through the kaleidoscope. Not a bad idea in today's news environment.
Kaleidosphere II is an edition of 10, measuring 20" tall" x 26" long" x 11" in diameter. US$5,500.
