Kaleidoscope is an animation developped for my tool VisionFactory and uses a new feature of BlobDetection library I wrote a while ago. It allows me to define a polygon for each detected blob. The screenshot above shows a simple kaleidoscopic effect in 2D by applying successive rotation+offset transformations on the biggest detected blob. The whole geometry is slowly rotating around its center.

I am going to integrate this new feature soon in the BlobDetection lib for Processing, it will be the opportunity to release some more animations/exemples with kaleidoscopic effects (3d!) .
