Kaleidocam uses your existing webcam to create an ever-changing live kaleidoscope pattern on your screen. This pattern can also be used as your screensaver.

Kaleidocam was created originally as an interactive media art work to be exhibited internationally. Kaleidocam's debut coincided with "Kaleidoscope Explosion 2005", held recently at the Spanish Village Art Center in San Diego.

Kaleidocam is addictively fun to interact with.  Users often find people gathering around their PC and making faces or dancing just to see the remarkable live kaleidoscope pattern appear instantly on the screensaver. Kaleidocam will work on most Windows computers with a webcam. You can download a 10-day trial version free at http://kaleidocam.co.uk/download.html

If you're not sure if Kaleidocam will work with your computer, you can check before downloading simply by visiting the web version at http://kaleidocam.co.uk/webversion.html

The live image from your webcam should appear on the left. If the web version works with your PC, the screen saver version will work as well!  There are no privacy worries, because no-one else can see what your webcam can see. System requirements are Windows PC, webcam, and Flash.
