Java Psyche |
This Java applet is a simple rendition of PSYCHE, a
graphical experiment originally developed in 1992. Psyche's continuously updating graphics
technique was designed originally as a test procedure for VGA subsystems. After weeks of
staring at the same patterns waiting for the hardware to fail, the developer decided to
make it more interesting to look at. The result was a series of more that 25 moiré-type
patterns that would continuously "bounce" around on the VGA screen, at times
causing near hypnotic states of mind.
This Java implementation is somewhat simpler than the classic version of the Psyche
program, but the concept is the same. This version of the application serves mainly to
demonstrate Java proficiency and to give our visitors something interesting to look at.
