HTML5 is a major revision of how the web is put together. Much of the development is in incorporating and developing multimedia functionality that has previously been bolted on technology within a browser. Other advancements include smarter use of offline storage, geolocation data and forms. Early HTML5 examples are already hinting at the possibilities. MSN’s ‘Royal Wedding’ timeline shows more seamless, high definition use of interactive animation, images and audio. Rough Guides ‘Make the Most’ site, in a similarly seamless fashion, visualises geotagged flickr photos wonderfully. And of course the now seminal ‘The Wilderness Downtown’ music video from Arcade Fire that pulls together video, animation, and geotagged satellite imagery into your very own personalised music video. Very exciting.
