Don’t know what a stereoscope is? Familiar with Viewmasters? That’s a version of a stereoscope, where two images seen through the right and left eye are combined to form a 3d image. The Kaleidoscope was his most famous invention but he also spent years developing a stereoscope called the Brewster stereoscope (he did not invent the stereoscope). He was a jack-of-all-trades scientist who focused much of his career studying optics. David Brewster is known as the man who invented the kaleidoscope in 1816. Encourage your children to take these kaleidoscopes around the house and see what materials, patterns, or objects create the coolest effects when viewed through them.ĭavid Brewster.
