Chrome World Wide Maze

I think this is the first time I've been genuinely impressed with a Chrome Experiment.

They've recreated Super Monkey Ball entirely inside the browser, with the option of using a device as a controller. Certainly an interesting concept for multiplayer gaming, imagine Chrome running on a Smart TV(Chrome OS TV?) and a couple of friends can hook up their mobiles as controllers, and play some casual party style games like Monkey Ball or Mario Party.

The reason this is so impressive is that it brings together three technologies that people aren't used to even seeing one good implementation of yet:

  * HTML5 accelerometer support  
  * Sync between mobile/desktop using websockets  
  * Web page slicing based (by the look of it) on DOM and image processing

…and of course this is in a nice responsive WebGL-rendered package, which people are getting more used to thanks to the http://www.chromeexperiments.com/ project.

Doesn't seem to do anything with a Nexus 7. And it does have an accelerometer and gyroscope.

This is awesome! now lets get some sweet Tux Racer or Mario Kart going! (please?)
