I came across an announcement for a new CD called FracShow which
displays fractal images for Windows and DOS. Both versions of the
FracShow software provide twelve different slide shows that incorporate
over fifteen different image loading effects, with six palette effects.
Some of the shows are simple and sequential, while others have been
designed for maximum diversity and randomness. Turn on the Kaleidoscope
filter for the ultimate in symmetry. Grab the current image as Windows
wallpaper anytime.
Beyond personal enjoyment and immersion, on a more serious note, a
number of psychologists viewing fractal slide shows in different
settings on different occasions have said, "This would be great in
doctors’ and dentists’ offices, or delivered to patients via closed
circuit TV systems in hospitals, to reduce anxiety." It also makes a
great electronic babysitter for kids of all ages.
The FracShow CD also includes a directory \JSGROVE – of sample files to
use with AutoShow. They are 640×480 – 256 color renderings of pictures
taken by world class photographer, marine biologist and naturalist, Jack
S. Grove. Jack spends most of his life lecturing and traveling to all
of the tropical island paradises around the globe.
