Show HN: Pushing HTML5/CSS to the max for a museum touchscreen interactive (nma.gov.au)
12 points by makenosound on Oct 7, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



This is the online version of a project I/we (http://icelab.com.au) made for the National Museum of Australia. Originally built as a WebKit-only touchscreen, it's been deployed to one of their permanent galleries running in Google Chrome for the last couple of months.

Some technical details:

* All animation is done with CSS transitions.

* Each page is actually a separate HTML file thats pulled in via AJAX.

* A small JS wrapper handles the transitions between page states.

* The background "panograph" is built in canvas.

* We're using the History API for pushing real state into the history stack.

* It works in IE6+ with the help of JavaScript animation and VML
