Movi.Kanti.Revo: Google And Cirque Du Soleil Launch A “Sensory Chrome Experiment”
At its I/O developer conference earlier this year, Google showed off an upcoming browser-based collaboration with Cirque du Soleil that was meant to bring some of Cirque’s imagination to the browser. This experiment, Movi.Kanti.Revo, is now available online and it’s quite a trip. The experience makes full use of HTML5 and other modern web technologies and uses your webcam (or accelerometer) to track your movements as you wander through the imaginary world.
Here is Google’s explanation of the experience:
Movi.Kanti.Revo comes from the Esperanto words for moving, singing and dreaming. In the experiment, you can follow a mysterious character through a beautiful and surreal world to encounter enchanting Cirque du Soleil performances and live an emotional journey made of love, doubts, hopes and dreams.
Unsurprisingly, Movi.Kanti.Revo works best in Chrome. It should also work fine in other browsers, though chances are you will have to use your mouse and not your webcam to navigate.
