awesome site... insane HTML5

Okay... I know HTML5 is great but this page is amazing....

Is this just an insane amount of javascript script to make something like this happen?

I guess they're using the <canvas>, <video>, <audio>, etc...

How about the lay over animation?

Either way... thought it was pretty cool and worth a share...

Cool ... Indeed. 😉

It'd be even cooler if the GeoEye remembered what it looked like back then, 😃

Ah: Arcade Fire...

But is it irredeemably geeky of me to think I recognise some of the software used to write the animations? It looks like Processing.

That's really neat!

I was looking at the javascript

http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/js/main-compressed.js

Looks like they do a lot with latitude and longitude... Also, a lot of functions to position those windows.

Toward the end where it has you type/draw a message it has the 3 windows with some type of machinery and when you type or draw it triggers those windows to play. How is that possible to trigger an event in another window like that?

I guess those guys/gals over at google know their stuff :\ very cool either. The web is going in some really neat interactive ways!

that is pretty awesome. I will have to dissect this code some day.

I like the song too 😉
