Silicon Mirror and Kaleidoscope
The Silicon Mirror is a desktop program that operates like a kaleidoscope, reflecting a selected part of an image to create some cool effects. With Silicon Mirror simply load an image into the image viewer, choose whether or not to tile the image and then launch the Mirror. You can move it around to change the reflected image. There are settings to alter the number of reflections (four to 12), the active fold and the actual image segment that is reflected. All major image formats are supported and kaleidoscope images can be printed or saved for use as web site or desktop wallpaper. The images created with the Silicon Mirror are tessellations which tile the plane seamlessly when stacked side by side. The Kaleidoscope screensaver takes the Silicon Mirror concept and simply moves the mirror automatically, creating constantly morphing kaleidoscopic images. Simply select a source image, specify the number of reflections and watch some very impressive visuals.
