       | Anyone who likes the trippy views that a kaleidoscope shows ought
       | to pick up a teleidoscope. It has the same internal reflective
       | structure, but instead of colored bits of glass/plastic at the
       | end, it has a fisheye lens to the outside world. They're quite
       | fun to look through, since you get to pick from an endless array
       | of shapes and color palettes by just pointing it at different
       | things. A bit of searching will turn up shopping results for
       | under $10.

           | There's also the pseudoscope, which reverses one's depth

           | imagining what that experience is like. I was unsuccessful in
           | ever finding one for sale, until just now! https://www.grand-

       | Title is wrong. I thought someone implemented Kaleidoscope with
