Specifications

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.
