Well, in fact we don’t see this situation happened yet, but HTML5 is really magical in reference to its video capabilities, canvas illustration and animation which work really well and smooth. The fact is that it’s so promising that projects are popping up all over the places that have been made as a way of testing the boundaries of HTML5.

Believe its power or not, we will be showcasing you 15 enlightening experiments which make the best use of HTML5, and guess what, you can experience gravity, music-based animation, and rendering of creatures that just works like creatures! Have a fun time with them and oops, they’re best served with the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Just in case you’re not satisfied with these HTML5 fun, we have more for you!

Canvas Cycle

A collaborative effort between artist Mark Ferrari and coder Joseph Huckaby, this is a gorgeous collection of moving nature scenes such as forests in winter, seascapes and stormy mountains. They are relaxing to look at and really stunning, with sounds attached to the pictures. If you want a little time to relax from work you can go through these pictures and feel your tension just melt away.

Google Gravity

Another one by the amazing Mr Doob, this one is less interactive than the first but still cool. It gives a basic copy of Google’s main search page. But when you point your cursor the whole page begins to ‘fall’ until all of them crash at the bottom. The Google logo works as an active link that refreshes the page. A good game for those great companies which hates Google, may be.

Canvas Trees

Made by Kenneth Jorgenson, this might be the only place you can see the phrase ‘Refresh for more delicious trees :)’. It is exactly what it says: you click on the website and it takes you to a white background. A black ink drawing of a tree will begin to ‘grow’ while counting on how many branches are in progress. You can refresh to see as many times as you wish.

Magnetic

This is another fun and addictive one for you to enjoy. You basically start out with a couple of ‘magnets’ that can be dragged around the screen. Particles of light orbit around them and if you shift positions you can change the shapes they make. If you want more magnets and particles you just double click and drag them to where you want them. Yes, it’s all about magnets and physics!

Celebrity Earnings Graph

This is a cool little graph that shows stacks of color bars which represents how much a specific celebrity makes per taping of a television show (or made, in cases like Charlie Sheen). It was made as one of many projects and experiments by Daniel Rapp.

Doogle Gmail

An interesting shooter type game but the hero is Gmail, free it from the evils! Just like the classic shooter game, you got the life, score, and the almighty laser beam. Probably one of the potential demos to showcase the capabilities of HTML5 doing as a game. Watch out, Flash.

W Pilot

This is such an addictive game that it should be illegal. Seriously, once you sign into one of their servers you will want to play for hours. You are basically flying around shooting things while avoiding getting shot by other players. It is simple and so fun to play, and the fact that it allows for a multiplayer experience is a serious plus that puts it above Flash games that are so popular right now.
