Canvas 3d fun
05.20.08 - 11:31pm
It occurred to me the other day that I haven’t blogged in a while. As it turns out, its been two months. Wow…..time flies when you’ve got your head down. Anyway, I wanted to share a bit of what I’ve been working on.
I have been playing with Vlads canvas 3d extension to implement fish eye zoom (Its was good way to kill some time on airplanes).
As far as I know, the original idea for the Fish Eye Zoom came from Asa, and it seems like a really good way to allow the user to inspect the content of a page when fully zoomed out. Or, if you think of it another way, it can give the user context they don’t usually enjoy in the traditional “key hole” view a mobile browser provides.
Big thanks to Vlad for his work in the 3d Canvas, I can see this really opening up new doors.
So where do we find your fisheye implementation??
