Abstract:Technological progress seems to follow a pattern: make it work – make it functional – make it beautiful. But while Web Apps reach new levels of functionality every day, stunning UX often enough remains exclusive to Flash® and the likes.

This is changing. The native capabilities of next generation browsers already far exceed those of plugins.

We’ll introduce the audience to what’s possible, covering the full spectrum of latest browser based graphics technologies (WebGL, Canvas, interactive Video etc.) and provide instantly usable, hands on knowledge about the most cutting edge developments (Effect Filters, 3D CSS).
