An Exploration of HTML5, Flash, and Javascript - Building a Presentation Engine

Abstract

Abstract HTML5 is an emerging standard that provides new features and capabilities that overlap with those traditionally provided by tools like Flash. Because the standard is still emerging there are no clear guidelines or trade-offs to help choose between using the different technologies. We demonstrate how HTML5 can be used to create a presentation engine, previously only possible in technologies like Flash. The presentations contain various rich and interactive media, including deep zoom viewing, videos, navigation control and sequencing of the presentation slides. These features demonstrate the capabilities of HTML5, combined with Javascript, and the techniques needed to use them
