Kaleider AndroidTM 1.1
(for Android Phones and Devices)
The Kaleider Android app makes it possible to experience much of the visual
magic of the full Kaleider PC program on Android powered mobile
phones and other devices. It generates an amazing variety of Kaleidoscopes,
Mirrors, 3D Mirrors and Funnels. Any JPEG or PNG image can be used as the
source for effects.
Two versions of the Kaleider Android app are available: Kaleider
Free is entirely free, and includes no ad displays or other marketing
gimmicks. Kaleider Plus provides many additional features at a low
cost -- $1.81. Both versions can be obtained through
the Android Market via the links below (or just scan the code images):
Here is a brief summary of the primary features, beginning with those that apply
to both the Free and Plus apps:
- Random Effects => Instantly generate a
random effect from among the 99 included varieties by touching the Effect
button (or the Enter key).
- Tile Shifting => Touch and drag the screen
to interactively shift rendered effect tiles.
- Wander => Applies continuous automated
motion to effect tiles.
- Colors => Progressively shifts the colors
of effect pixels according to selectable methods.
- Automatic Effects => Continuously generate
random effects, periodically changing the source image. Wandering motions
and Colors might also be randomly activated depending upon configured options.
- Options => Buttons are available to
quickly perform most actions. The appearance of buttons can be toggled off
to allow more screen area for displaying effects. All functions are also
easily accessible via Menu options and keyboard commands.
If you enjoy the Kaleider Free app, please also consider purchasing
Kaleider Plus, which includes these additional capabilities:
- Select Effects => Besides the ability
to quickly generate random effects, particular effects can be chosen from among
the 99 available varieties (12 Kaleidoscopes, 33 Rectangular Mirrors,
29 Diamond Mirrors, 11 3D Mirrors and 14 Funnels).
Also, the previously rendered effect can be re-rendered with the same parameters
at its original position (before any Tile Shifting or Wandering
movements). And it's possible to re-render the last effect with random
variations.
- Save Effects => Rendered effects can be
saved onto your SD card as JPEG or PNG images.
- 3D Rooms => Exhibits patterns in 3D
perspectives, covering the walls, ceilings and floors of various Rooms.
The Rooms can be navigated via keyboard commands, or automated Roaming
motion can be activated.
- Non-Flat Surfaces => Maps effect tiles
onto a variety of curved Surfaces, resulting in non-linear distortions of
the patterns.
- Automatic Effects => Random Rooms
and Surfaces can also be optionally activated during Automatic
Effects.
