HTML 5 Canvas Experiment Hints At Things To Come

Posted by timothy on from the faux-phlash dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an interesting and impressive demonstration of modern browsers' HTML 5 capabilities. "From the 9elements blog: 'HTML5 is getting a lot of love lately. With the arrival of Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 and the new 3.0 beta of Google Chrome, browsers support some great new features including canvas and the new audio/video tags. [...] We've created a little experiment which loads 100 tweets related to HTML 5 and displays them using a javascript-based particle engine.' The site warns "(beware: sophisticated browser needed)"; Firefox 3.5 seems to work fine.

    Opera too. No sound, but smooth animations and low resource usages. I wonder why these browsers were not mentioned in the summary. ;-)
