Benham disc in web canvas
Around 15 years ago, I wrote a small Java applet to try and show the Benham disk effect. Even back then applets were already passé and Flash would have been more appropriate. These days, no browser support Java applets anymore, and very few web users have Java installed. Flash also mostly disappeared. The web canvas is today’s standard allowing to embbed animations in a web page. This effect shows color perception from a succession of black and white pictures. It is a computer reproduction from the Benham disc with ideas borrowed from "Pour La Science Avril/Juin 2003". Using a delay between 40 and 60ms, the inner circle should appear red, the one in the middle blue and the outer one green. When you reverse the rotation direction, blue and red circles should be inverted.
