10 Mindblowing Chrome Experiments You Should See

Last September, I posted about The Wilderness Downtown, an interactive website featuring the music video of Arcade Fire's "We Used To Wait." It is a part of the Chrome Experiments, a collection of works built from the latest open technologies such as HTML5, Canvas, SVG, and WebGL. To this date, many works have been submitted from all over the world and many are quite remarkable. Here are the experiments L-I recommends you to see.

Note: You need to have a Google Chrome Beta 9 browser or higher version.

3. Google Body

It's either you love human biology or just fond of exploring things you can't explore in real life. (Or maybe you can) This project lets you go deep into layers of the human physique. You also turn on the labels if you like to memorize the parts of the human body.

Eh? I'm not done yet. Okay... I only indicated 10. But there are more magnificent experiments you haven't seen yet. The number of submissions is still growing as the finalization of HTML5 on June 2014 approaches. You may want to start learning WebGL and master your JavaScript skills to be able to make your own projects as well. Or - if you're confident enough, create now and submit it to the Chrome Experiments collection and be rated and critiqued. It's a good thing, I promise.
