HTML <main> element can be used to represent the main content of the <body> of a document or application.

CSS pseudo elements (like ::before and ::after) can now be animated and transitioned.

Encrypted Media Extensions allow you to play protected audio and video content on the web. See them in action in this WebM demo, and note that they’re not yet available on Android.

Enable the Experimental JavaScript flag in chrome://flags to try Object.observe(). It lets you add a listener to any JavaScript object that gets called whenever that object or its properties change, as in this simple demo.

Introducing “Find Your Way to Oz”, a new Chrome Experiment

Tuesday, February 5, 2013

Find Your Way To Oz,Oz The Great and PowerfulUNIT9

Immersive Graphics: The experiment uses WebGL for the main 3D environment, CSS3 features such as CSS Transitions for various visual embellishments, and GLSL shaders for the tornado’s ominous look and feel.

Rich Audio: As the user explores the experiment, the 3D sound dynamically adapts thanks to the Web Audio API. The same API powers the experiment’s music composing section.

Camera-based interactions: Through WebRTC’s getUserMedia API, users can become circus characters or record their own mini-movies.
