Browser Ball : Passing data among multiple overlapping browser windows
Browser ball is one of the experiments of Chrome Experiments which shows the power of the Canvas tag ( <canvas> ) tag allowing it to pass a ball between multiple open browser windows. You can drag a ball and drag it to another browser window.
It works if the browser window is a child of main window and is overlapping each other i.e. its creates virtual space which is shared by all the windows and the ball can move in between them when moved. Here is a small animation telling you that.
Its an excellent way to show the power of how in future drag and drop or even animations can work between different windows and share data. Start Playing with Browser Ball now
