Optical Devices

                   
                                                                Chromatrope

Today in cyberARTS we were supposed to find a Optical device and comment on the layout of the website, what your favorite toy is and how it works. I chose the Chromatrope device. The Chromatrope Device was made 29 years after Brewster invented the similar  kaleidoscope in 1817. The Chromatrope is made out of pieces of glass with different colorful designs which move around by the handle which is semi attached to the glass pieces. When a light is behind the Chromatrope the designs are projected.

The website I got this information from was called Laura Hayes and John Howard Wileman

This site was very helpful and had lots of other Optical device toys that you could learn about, so go check out this site.

Photo Sharing site

Today in CyberARTS were given the task to find a free web site where you can upload and share media. I found Photo bucket, it is similar to flickr and vuvox but photo bucket has a few extra applications that flickr and vuvox both don't have. These are 3D cards where you can use your uploaded photos and create cards that you can share. Scrapbooks where you can create a virtual scrapbook with all your memories with out the time and effort if cutting paper and gluing over and over. With photo bucket you can also create slideshows and videos like on flickr and vuvox. With photo bucket you can treat your account as a website of your photos because you can customize your account with color themes and more. This is why I like Photo bucket.
