The Kaleidoscope Band is a playful music box that provides us an inner space of childhood nostalgia and imagination. It delivers an intimate experience by rolling gently and turns it into a shared experience.

Description
The Kaleidoscope Band is a shared experience, through a new form of a toy that combines both a kaleidoscope and a music box.
This kaleidoscope band is using an analog music box as input to change the projected kaleidoscope pattern through P5.js. As turning the knob of the music box, through a potentiometer, the pattern of the kaleidoscope would change over time through the projector along with the beautiful music sung along from the box.
Combining technology and crafts, we fabricate the box through wood and tried to deliver the nostalgic traditional toy that everyone is familiar with on top of creating the kaleidoscope pattern through a digital platform.
