Particles-web-matrix is a test of web technologies ability to visualize physics.
More recently, seeing-music visualizes music for the ‘hard of hearing,’ as the description on explains. To celebrate the thousandth Experiment (the site launched with just 12), was created, and is itself Experiment #1,000.Ĭhosen at random, particles-web-matrix lets you watch as particles form webs of increasing complexity and energy with each other by apparently random motion. Over time, the site has become a place to showcase and experiment with emerging web technologies like JavaScript, HTML5, WebGL, Canvas, SVG, CSS, and some others.Īn Experiment can take many forms. Google created Chrome Experiments as a testbed for finding the limits of Javascript and the Chrome browser. If that’s the case, then Experiments is Chrome’s open-source, playful Skunk Works. At the same time, that code and the attendant libraries are constantly being expanded in a kind of benign, collaborative arms race.
It’s a kind of modular secondary operating system, and developers inside and outside Google are constantly discovering new capabilities in the existing code.
Chrome can do a lot more than browse the internet and store bookmarks.
