Baby Patterns

Newborn babies are visually stimulated by high-contrast patterns. Their ability to distinguish colours and fine detail does not usually develop until 3-4 months.

This application shows a number of different patterns on a computer screen, with the following features:

• Change between five different patterns at the touch of a button
• Automatically cycle between patterns every few seconds (useful when you haven't got a free hand)
• Animate the patterns gently from side-to-side
• Make the patterns bigger or smaller, to suit your screen size
