As you can see, the mirrors do not intersect to allow light to permeate from the sides only.
These are two colored plexi of the triangular prisms I have made so far:
And here are some of its effects when they were placed in the mirror case:

Project update
Here is the original configuration I chose for the kaleidoscope- a composition of six triangles. The triangles are going to be made out colored plexi and encased with mirrors.

I love the light geometry created by those "simple" shapes. Some you can predict, some will be totally unexpected.
ReplyDeleteDid you use a diffuse light to take the picture? (it seems to me) I can imagine what can happen if you shine a strong LED light on it.
Is the kaleidoscope open on both sides? can it be used to project as well?
Is the mirror case constructed out of the 50% mirror that you showed in class?
We'll find out soon enough!:-)
