Mostly color perception

Content starts here
The Internet is an amalgam of forms blurred under epistemological pressures. In Søren Kierkegaard’s words, under this flat shower of leveled information, where everybody is interested in everything and nothing is too trivial or too important, people just accumulate information and postpone decisions indefinitely, i.e., nobody takes action and nobody is responsible for truth — there is no mastery, just gossip. He called this the æsthetic sphere of existence, exhorting us to evolve to the ethical sphere, where we do not just accumulate information but take action and make commitments. Blogs are instruments to overcome flatness by creating opportunities for vertical activities. In this sense this blog is a view from my window — a collection of tidbits I judged relevant to computational color science and in general to the promotion of scientific excellence in areas of strategic importance for the future of research, economy and society.

» World Wide Gamma

An experimental tool post to crowdsource the average 'gamma value' for the world wide web. To learn more about gamma you can read the FAQ and also the FQA by Charles Poynton.

Instructions
1. Use '+' and '-' buttons to make the corresponding patches above the buttons lighter or darker.
2. Create a visually equal spaced gray ramp from black on the left to white on the right. That is the jumps in lightness between neighbors should be roughly equal and the ramp should be getting progressively lighter.
3. Click on the 'Plot' button to see your results(black) plotted versus the world wide gamma(red).
