A Java applet that was created as supplementary demonstration material for a scientific publication A Java applet that uses 3D hardware acceleration to visualize 3D files in .pdb format downloaded from a server Using applet for nontrivial animation illustrating biophysical topic (randomly moving ions pass through voltage gates) Using a Java applet for computation – intensive visualization of the Mandelbrot set Applets' running speed is sufficient for making e.g. nontrivial computer games that play chess. NASA World Wind (open source) is a second generation applet that makes heavy use of OpenGL and on-demand data downloading to provide a detailed 3D map of the world. Web access to the server console at the hardware level with the help of a Java applet Demonstration of image processing using two dimensional Fourier transform Java applets are small applications written in the Java programming language, or another programming language that compiles to Java bytecode, and delivered to users in the form of Java bytecode.

At the time of their introduction, the intended use was for the user to launch the applet from a web page, and for the applet to then execute within a Java virtual machine (JVM) in a process separate from the web browser itself. A Java applet could appear in a frame of the web page, a new application window, a program from Sun called appletviewer, or a stand-alone tool for testing applets.
