Movi.Kanti.Revo

If you haven’t have been living under a rock or serving a life sentence in prison since 1980, you’ve probably heard of Cirque du Soleil, the Canadanian entertainment label that stages impressive live performances that challenge the laws of physics and the limits of the human body!

If you’ve never seen what they do, here’s a promo video from their Youtube channel: –

Yesterday, at Google’s Big Tent event in New York, Cirque du Soleil transcended the confines of real world performance and embraced the the internet with Movi.Kanti.Revo, a new sensory Chrome experiment crafted by Cirque du Soleil and developed by Subatomic Systems. 

Movi.Kanti.Revo comes from the Esperanto words for moving, singing and dreaming. In the experiment, you can follow a mysterious character through a beautiful and surreal world to encounter enchanting Cirque du Soleil performances and live an emotional journey made of love, doubts, hopes and dreams.

Changing the traditional ways of web browsing, you can navigate through this unique experience simply by gesturing in front of your device’s camera! This was made possible using the getUserMedia feature of WebRTC, a technology supported by modern browsers, that, with your permission, gives web pages access to your computer’s camera and microphone without installing any additional software.

Chrome Experiments like Movi.Kanti.Revo demonstrate how the web has evolved into a beautiful creative canvas underpinned by continuously evolving web technologies. Soon we’ll be experiencing something much greater online than we were used to before.

For optimal viewing, you’ll need to use a computer that has a webcam and a browser that supports WebRTC, like Chrome. You can also access the experiment from any tablet such as an iPad, Galaxy Tab or Blackberry Playbook or a mobile phone for a slightly different yet still beautiful experience.
