Animated Presentations Using SVG

Posted by Unknown on Friday April 6, 2012 @03:42AM from the twirling-twirling-toward-freedom dept.

Inspired by work on work on non-traditional presentations in KDE's Karbon (part of Calligra), Aditya Bhatt set out to create a purely client-side tool for creating animated presentations in the browser. Based upon svg-edit and using Sozi, the initial results are pretty cool. His weblog post documents the process — the choice of SVG versus html5's canvas, Javascript instead of SMIL, etc. highlighting the challenges faced even today with different browsers offering wildly different levels of support for each web technology. The sourcecode for Awwation can be had over at Github.

I got a kick out of how the only thing that wasn't a vector was the SVG logo itself. Hah!
