The Wilderness Downtown, an HTML5 Masterpiece

Watch and enjoy. More details of how it works here including street detection within Google Maps Street View.

Choreographed windows, interactive flocking, custom rendered maps, real-time compositing, procedural drawing, 3D canvas rendering… this Chrome Experiment has them all. “The Wilderness Downtown” is an interactive interpretation of Arcade Fire’s song “We Used To Wait” and was built entirely with the latest open web technologies, including HTML5 video, audio, and canvas.

Goodbye Flash (one day).
