Welcome to New LITE

These applets were designed as part of a collaboration between Kenneth Brecher and Paul Sawaya in 2008. They not only serve as demonstrations of different visual effects, but as a "sandbox" or a tool to play around with the settings that create visual phenomena that can give clues as to their causes. Flash 10 is required.
