Alexander Calder

Today Google decided to make a tribute to Alexander Calder (an American artist best known for inventing the mobile), by creating a interactive doodle entirely using HTML5 canvas, so you need to use a modern browser to interact with it. It runs a physics simulation on the mobile’s geometry, and then does realtime 3D rendering with vector graphics. Only recently have browsers advanced to the point where this is possible.

Pretty cool
