The video shows a random test running the kaleidoscope reverter. The tool orients geometry according to symmetry groups. In this example convex hulls are used. The hulls are generated by a path through different stellation outlines.

The Video is based on the idea of the Oloid being developed by enveloping moving points on a triangular kaleidocycle consisting of six tetrahedra. To investigate the logic of the shape and the spacing of surface isocurves, this animation traces the corners through space. To research further possibilities of variations the animation also explores variations in the count of tetrahedrons.
Each vertex is represented by a colour.

The video shows six main variations of the SuperCubeSphere (Phillip C. Reiner - 2015). Based on the SuperCube by Einar Thorstein the Sphere is created by the use of the icosahedral symmetry group. The arrangement follows the shape of a Rhombic Triacontahedron. All Triangels follow the golden ratio. The shape removed from the initial Cube is the Fang/PhiTetrahedra/A Quanta Module.

polyhedralKaleidoscopes

Most regular polyhedrons are based on either tetrahedral and/or octahedral or icosahedral geometry. Therefore they can be reduced by using their symmetry planes. Being cut out of three mirrors, the piece remaining is enough to display the initial volume. This video shows how most of the platonic, archimedian and catalan solids are displayed with these three types of kaleidoscopes. On the lower left you see the unrolled version of the kaleidoscope. Only very small variations are necessary.
Some polyhedrons in those groups are not being displayed, because they are based on rotational symmetry (e.g. Snubcube).
