KaleidoFieldVideo & Image Kaleidoscope Generator
KaleidoField is an interactive video and image kaleidoscope generator for transforming visual media into animated radial patterns, symmetry and experimental kaleidoscopic art.
What you can make
Video & Image Kaleidoscope Generator
Turn photographs, moving footage or generated light into still image-kaleidoscope compositions and animated kaleidoscope studies built from radial patterns.
How the process works
Adjustable mirror geometry reflects the source through repeating wedges. Source position, rotation and Auto Movement continually reshape the symmetry without altering the original media.
Inputs and source material
Import an image or video, or begin with KaleidoField’s generated light field.
Save and export
Save a PNG or record video. The Windows version also supports seamless output-loop encoding.
