  • Lost World’s Fairs

    Lost World’s Fairs show cases how damn awesome HTML5 is in the hands of a capable designer. Initially, the project came about when Microsoft asked the designers to showcase Internet Explorer 9’s support for WOFF.

    Says Jason Santa Maria:

    Today marks the beta launch of Internet Explorer 9. To celebrate the release, Nishant Kothary from the MIX Online team at Microsoft reached out to me to help showcase its support of WOFF.

    Atlantis is the most clever of the trio, using page scrolling to the effect of traveling down, down, down to the ocean floor.

  • The Wilderness Downtown

    The Arcade Fire released their second video for their latest album The Suburbs with, The Wilderness Downtown.  It’s a synthesis of web technology, music and video to create an experience.  It uses HTML 5 to drive much of video so for now Google Chrome or Safari 5 are the only browsers that can play it fully.  (Firefox can, albeit somewhat lacking).

    Before the video begins, you’re asked to enter the street you grew up on, and then the video begins to load.  In the video, multiple screens pop up, one with video of a unisex person running through a suburban street and other windows playing animations.  You’ll write a message to your younger self, and that address you entered will appear as a Google Earth flyover.

    This isn’t their first foray into viral, interactive videos.  With their last album, they released a web video, Neon Biblethat let you interact with Win Butler’s hands.
