Arcade Fire and Google Pushing HTML5 Together [HTML5]

At the start, it may possibly seem like a nasty memory from a late-90s porn misclick-a flurry of browser windows filling your screen. But a new collaboration between Google and Arcade Fire is asking to the long run, showcasing HTML5′s power.

Rather than stick a standard music video on YouTube, Arcade Fire’s ” The Wilderness Downtown” is a Chrome ” experience,” highlighting what modern, HTML5-compatible browsers are capable of rendering. Multiple windows run and close in coordination with the music, and-easily the smartest section of the demonstration-your browser will incorporate Street View imagery of your childhood home (once you provide the address).

We’re unsure the demonstration is very an experience, but should offer some ammunition within the HTML5/Flash imbroglio, despite being a less than excellent demonstration (we suggest temporarily quitting other applications that could pop windows and derail the show).
