The Chrome Experiment: Arcade Fire
September 3rd, 2010
Rock band Arcade Fire has teamed up with Google to redefine the music video and to show the world what is possible with HTML5.
“The Wilderness Downtown” combines HTML5, JavaScript, and Google Maps to create an immersive Web experience that is truly unique for every user. The music is great, and the video is a joy to watch. But as a Web geek, I’m most impressed by the subtle synchronization of lyrical and musical cues, window effects, and animations that are made possible by the HTML5 audio, video, and canvas tags.
To watch this video, you’ll need Google Chrome or another HTML5 compliant browser.
