Seriously. JS has been this amazing for a while. See also this demo from 2010: http://www.craftymind.com/2010/04/20/blowing-up-html5-video-...
IN JS? This is so cool. Also: fun to compare the raw video to the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12zJw9varYE :)
How are they changing out the backgrounds in the tech demo? I was expecting the original to be a green screen background...
This is pretty awesome, but it seems like OK Go has cornered the market on "cool web tech" demo music videos. Doesn't anybody remember their collaboration with Google? http://allisnotlo.st I fully expect them to do something with Microsoft for IE11 to complete the cycle.
Doesn't work with Ghostery enabled. Don't see why it shouldn't work with twitter/google analytics blocked...
Seriously is a JS library for handling the boilerplate of WebGL, composing and compositing multiple shaders in a pipeline/graph, and adjusting their parameters. In addition it comes with a bunch of pre-written shaders.
Shaders themselves are a lot of fun to write, IMO. A pixel shader is just a function that computes a color given an input pixel location. (A shader can also take in additional input such as "textures" to sample from, e.g. a video frame.)
The shader is run with massive parallelization in the GPU. In theory every pixel can be processed simultaneously. This is how these effects can run in real time.
Here are some more examples of what you can do with pixel shaders (including sampling from the webcam in the browser -- should work in Chrome and FF), http://pixelshaders.com/examples/
I'm in the process of writing an interactive book about pixel shaders, http://pixelshaders.com/
"Sadly, we are unable to get Seriously.js to work on your computer. Sometimes WebGL gets a bit weird with certain graphics hardware and drivers. Please have a look here for more information."
Same here. Could it be because I am running Linux?
