14 DAY TRIAL // Tech giant Microsoft is once again showcasing the HTML5 capabilities of its new Internet Explorer 10, this time with an interactive website called “Everest: Rivers of Ice.”
The website gives you the power to explore the world’s tallest mountain straight from your browser, as it comprises panoramic views of Everest that let you zoom into images with billions of pixels, as Microsoft explained.
“Utilizing IE’s touch model, Everest: Rivers of Ice, also goes further by creating innovative and intuitive touch interactions like ‘draw and zoom.’ If you want to explore an area, a peak or basecamp on the mountain, you simply draw a circle around a piece of the photo and the site will automatically zoom to what you want to explore. We think it is a fun and fastway to quickly dive into a few of the billions of pixels at your fingertips,” Microsoft explained.
Although it has been designed to be used by Internet Explorer 10 users, the interactive website can be loaded with basically any other browser with HTML5 support, so click here to give it a try right now.
