Gone are the days of boring websites that only used plain text pages and boring simple colors. Today, the possibilities are endless as to what can be produced.

With the current versions of HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3, you can create absolutely mind-blowing dynamic graphics and animations to spice up your ordinary website. These tools will allow your users to you use geolocation information, 360 degree views that they can move around and zoom at their leisure and ‘drag and drop’ file movements, plus many others; all without having to install any special software.

One element of this web design revelation is the < canvas > element. With canvas you can create extravagant yet efficient animations for pages utilizing JavaScript instead of Flash, thus eliminating the need for your visitors to continually have to update their Flash players. Canvas allows HTML5 to replace certain types of Flash animation with its ability to build dynamic, scriptable 3D rendering of shapes and combining bitmap images with Javascript to make controllable animations.

If you find that cool, hold on because HTML5′s capability is not done yet. Canvas also has the ability of 3D effect. Utilizing the canvas element along with Document Object Model (DOM) and JavaScript, the 3D effect is created, which can then be developed into 3D animation.

HTML5 is a wave maker in today’s world and is on the tip of everyone’s lips. In the following article you are going to see some HTML5 demos and experiments that will leave you speechless.
