This was much better than I expected. This video was very calming and provided a ... er ... mind altering experience. The glasses were neat, too. The music is unobtrusive, and the images are truly incredible. I highly recommend this. Realize, though, that this is just an experience -- there is no information about fractals themselves.

"The Fractal Experience" is probably right on the money, for those looking for "cool"! What you get are very good fractal images, morphing from one to another; along with music background. Very good, for those at that level. My interest go more to the math, history, and the fellow who pioneered the field (Benoit Mandelbrot); along with demo images. If that's what you want, look elsewhere!

For those interested in Psychedelic videos, this tape hits the target. The only drawback would be the length. 30 minutes goes pretty quick, but feels like an hour watching this. Clarity could be a lot better, maybe due to the media used. DVD would be your better choice for this.Outside of that, it's a stunning array of light, soothing music and a tranquil experience. A must have for those who seek an inner peace. :)

The Fractal Experience video is excellent. I began enjoying fractals on my Mac over 10 years ago. This video is a dream come true for fractal lovers who enjoy the mind-bending pleasure of viewing these mathematical wonders.

No, it's not a treatise on the theoretical aspects of fractals - there are many, many books and other videos covering that. Instead we are treated to a stunning parade of colorful, powerful images, accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack. Viewed with or without the 3-D glasses, these animated fractals are almost frightening in their power to evoke emotion and awe.

I only wish that the video was longer and was available on DVD!
