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.

A kaleidoscope comprising a housing in the form of a polyhedron enclosing an interior space, the polyhedron comprising a plurality of sides defining internal reflecting mirrors each in the form of an irregular polygon, the mirrors having selected dihedral angles therebetween along edges of the polyhedron and the polyhedron having further sides formed by triangular light-admitting viewing windows which produce images in the form of three-dimensional geometric solids in said space by kaleidoscopic reflections from said mirrors when said space is viewed through any one of the windows.
