Comment on Impress.js - a Prezi like implementation using CSS3 3D transformations

Comments

Very well implemented. Prezi it's amazing except that it needs flash.

Seems my poor intel gpu doesn't work well with webgl. I got really narrow z-culling, every 3d flipped text disappear behind a cute intersection triangle, but that's off topic; I didn't know prezzi, and seeing this kind of things live is refreshingly fun.

Prezi, which Impress.js mimics, requires flash. Here's an example: http://prezi.com/ftv9hvziwqi2/coca-cola-company/

It's funny how (to me, at least) the Impress.js deck works, but the Coca-cola one doesn't. Not just a matter of duration, there's something in the animation. Maybe it's the little things like the way the Impress.js animation emphasises the word "tiny" - the transitions add meaning. Whereas the Coca-cola transitions don't seem to say anything extra.

He's saying that Prezi is amazing, but the fact that it requires flash is a negative aspect of it.
