ABSTRACT:
A kaleidoscope housing is in the form of an irregular polyhedron having four of its sides providing irregular polygonal reflecting mirrors joined along respective edges of the polyhedron at specified dihedral angles and its remaining sides formed as triangular viewing windows. The windows produce three-dimensional geometric images in the interior space of the housing when viewed through any window, the images having triaxial symmetry and repeating to infinity.
