Pixel Lens Cube Keychain

This is a solid acrylic cube with a lens array cut into one face. Look through it at anything, a building, a plant, your dog, a sunset, and it comes back rendered in chunky blocks of color, like the world has been dropped to a very low resolution.

There is nothing electronic in it. No battery, no screen, no app. It is a piece of shaped plastic that does something your eyes do not expect, which is why nobody hands it straight back.

Black, pink or blue, and cheaper as a set

It clips to a bag, a belt loop or your keys, so it lives in a pocket instead of a drawer. Three keychain colors. Take two or three and the price per cube drops, because one bigger parcel costs us less to ship than two small ones, and we pass that on.

• One cube, $19.99
• Any two, $34.99 ($17.50 each)
• All three colors, $44.99 ($15.00 each, saving $14.98 on three singles)

In the box: your cube (or cubes) with the keychain clip attached. Sets arrive together in one parcel.

An honest note

This is an optical novelty, not a precision instrument. Hold it a few centimetres from your eye and move it until the grid snaps into focus. The effect is genuinely striking, and it is not a camera lens.

• Look through it and everything behind it is pixelated in real time
• Solid acrylic, no battery, no electronics, nothing to charge or break
• Clips to keys, a bag or a belt loop
• Three keychain colors: black, pink, blue
• Small enough to live in a pocket, strange enough that people ask to try it
