The KaleidoView Portals® prototype is shown with a bezel frame, embellished with a glued-on metallic sun pattern. The manufacturer may choose to design one or more other decorations, in more than one color or finish, and offer the consumer a choice to be pre-glued at the factory, or attached another way. Thus, the appearance may be changed to fit the décor where it is installed. There may also be a choice of colors or
finishes of the bezel frame itself, and a choice of sizes of the overall
window. Finally, different themed sets of colored tumbling pieces may be offered. Perhaps a standard set could accompany all models,
with an option of buying additional sets later. These are easily
installed, using an Allen wrench on one Allen-head screw.
The
four basic parts of a kaleidoscope are the Eyepiece, the External Presentation,
the Mirror System and the Object Chamber. The KaleidoView Portal®
takes these parts, adapts them, and creates an awe-inspring window.
It's almost a portal into another dimension.
The
movement is controlled by a hand-held remote control and rheostatic dials
mounted near the device. The patterns may be paused, or stopped,
as well as continuous.
It
is solar ready, or uses AC power or a battery backup. Light may be
provided by LED rope lights or natural sunlight. |
