Check this Arcade Fire + Google Chrome super experiment posted today.

This was awesome. Mind still blown. The site where the work was posted is Chrome Experiments and there is a ton of cool stuff there to keep you occupied for hours.

Addicted.

Possibly a browser issue...I'm running chrome

Pretty cool, used a recent/current address due to needing street view.

Wow that was really laggy with firefox, it opened like 7 pop ups too. Couldn't see what all the popups were either. So it's suppose to show a video of a kid running on a street and then another window would be show google maps moving along your street slowly?

Sort of. I thought it was awesome as fuck. It'll probably only work with Google Chrome...since that's what the experiment was MADE for

It's suppose to open the windows.....just leave them and don't try to close them and move them around. The multiple windows will open and close themselves as the movie plays

pretty neat, not sure why it said british comumbia and city of airdrie though

Yeah I might download google chrome and give it a shot, tried it with firefox and LAG FEST and i have a i5 750 processor with 8gigs of ram :rofl:

[phreezee]

It was too far down my street, missed the house completely. Pretty good though.

[403Gemini]

Yeah, way better with google chrome :thumbsup:

[Godfuader]

Awesome. Just wish I had a faster comp.

[Chester]

Wow that was sweet, just tripped my roommate and I out ahaha

[ByTeMe]

Won't load past 97% for me at work.

Tried it at home but I don't want to install chrome at home.

What is this supposed to do? When I tried it all it was is a guy running.

[Cos]

Pretty cool!

[K3RMiTdot]

froze at 44% ------___________________________------

[n1zm0]

ill try it at home, work IT ppl have something against chrome :(

but i tried it on firefox and it made 8 popups then i said no thanks

[Cos]

^^ on chrome it made about 10 for me

[Phenix]

wow, worked pretty good. lots of pop ups but pretty sweet.

[Tomaz]

I think the pop ups were the idea behind the experience...



Anyway, that was pretty sweet!

[PulsePro]

worked fine for me on safari with a dual core macbook pro running from a 30" display (2560x1600)

[Wrath]

Yea....from what i can tell it really only works on chrome and Safari (but everybody should be using chrome anyways :D)

and yes the popups are what runs the experience
