Kevin's Evil Laboratory

cameronmoll:

This multi-window browser experience is probably unlike anything you’ve seen before, though eerily reminiscent of the Javascript-controlled browser window resizing and spawning we saw a decade ago (most notably with Flash sites).

The big headline here is that it’s built with HTML5. I’ve not dived into this enough to understand precisely what components of HTML5 are being used, and Google’s official post doesn’t offer details either. Given every link and article I’ve seen pointing to this today mentions HTML5, somebody oughta give us the deets.

Note: I’ve linked to the Wired article, as the actual site is getting hammered with traffic. It’s also very processor intensive, so close just about everything else running on your machine.

Update: The Chrome Experiments page includes a few snippets about the HTML5 components being used.
