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.
