Our top HTML5 demos from ChromeExperiments.com
Over at ChromeExperiments.com Google has been putting together a selection of demos showcasing the power of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. We’ve picked out our favourite three below; let us know which ones you like the most in the comments section. Most require a modern web browser – Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera. Internet Explorer 9 will also support most of these features when it is released which is scheduled for later this year.

This example using HTML5’s ‘canvas’ element shows how it is possible to integrate great graphics and live social media into an interesting and visually appealing presentation style. You can also see the smooth vector graphics that HTML5 produces – perfectly on par with Adobe Flash, without needing any additional plugins.

A less useful demo showing the animation and physics abilities that modern web browser can do. The performance is great on a fairly fast PC, and again you can see how you can achieve the exact same results as flash using HTML5. As browser adoption continues to tend towards browsers that support the standard, and JavaScript performance continues to increase due to gains in efficiencies that many browsers are achieving, you’ll see this kind of sophisticated animation on the web far more frequently.
Sketchpad is a remarkably fully featured graphics application that runs entirely in the browser. Notice the way you can click the ‘save’ icon to copy and paste creations straight into a different application – this could easily be extended to automatically post to Facebook or Twitter, for example. The application also runs on the iPad – allowing true cross platform compatibility without needing to recode it. This level of refined user interface will also become more common across the web.
As you can see; the power of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript is very impressive. Doing things like this in the browser would have seemed quite unfeasible just a few years ago. When IE9 is released supporting nearly all of these technologies, the final barrier to these applications will be removed. Hopefully people will upgrade quick enough so developers can take advantage of these features as soon as possible.
