What is it?
The camera obscura (latin for 'darkened room') is the earliest optical
device and goes back over 2500 years. |
 |
What Does it do? The kit will enable you to quickly install a semi permanent camera obscura, which will inspire wonder in: your students, your kids, or even your waiting room. You can create a unique space in your own home for contemplation or merely to impress your friends! |

Why? It will help you to teach; history, science, art, and optics and become the definitive contrast to modern digital imaging and projection. |

What will I receive? A

The obscura works best in a totally blacked out room so you will also require light proofing material (Corrugated cardboard). |

for all the stuff!)
