HTML5 Video and Audio Experiment

Gizmodo had a post on an HTML5 exper­i­men­tal page from 9Elements design stu­dio. If you have Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 or lat­est Chrome build you can check it out your­self here.

It’s really an amaz­ing piece of work — beau­ti­ful ani­ma­tions cou­pled with sound and neat inter­ac­tiv­ity (click­ing the lights dis­plays tweets about the page). All this is done with no Flash, or Silverlight or any­thing like that, though of course the code that runs all that isn’t exactly triv­ial, it’s all HTML5, JavaScript and Canvas.

I hope that we see more and more peo­ple tak­ing advan­tage of HTML5. Internet Explorer cur­rently sup­ports only a small sub­set of HTML5 spec and none of it is for some­thing like this. But if there’s enough push for HTML5, hope­fully either the other browsers will leave IE com­pletely in the dust and peo­ple will just stop using it (one can always dream), or Microsoft will wiseup and imple­ment proper stan­dards and HTML5 sup­port into IE.
