Google Celebrates 1000th Chrome Experiment Milestone

Google's Chrome Experiments was launched 6 years back in 2009 and Google's engineers have been trying to make the internet a fun experience for the users. The site highlights developer-submitted Chrome apps. Recently, Google published the 1000th experiment, a visualization of the first 999 experiments. It should be noted that at the time of launching, the site only had 19 experiments to begin with. However the experiments had become a source of inspiration for many other programmers to also develop experiments and for that reason, the milestone of 1000 experiments can be achieved in 6 years.

The 1000th Experiment also offers the code of the other 999 experiments. Google has created Experiment #1000 where you can explore the experiments in various ways, including using a real-time code editor and browse the experiments by tags.

Valdean Klump from the Google Data Arts Team stated that users may explore the past works of the first WebGL experiment by Gregg Tavares, Mr. Doob's classic Ball Pool (one of the original 19 experiments), and Dinahmoe's multiplayer audio toy Plink. They can also explore the first mobile experiments by Google, including AlteredQualia's Multitouch Toy, Dominic Szblewski's X-type and newer web technologies like getUserMedia and the Web Speech API

In addition to the visualization, Google has also managed to create a redesign of the Experiments website by making the best use of HTML5 and JavaScript in order to present users with a better visual experience. The new site will have Material Design appearance and be well-displayed both on the PC and mobile screen as Google has redesigned the site using Polymer which guarantees smooth scaling regardless of the screen size.

On the new interface, users can explore all kinds of creative coding works like games and arts that have been shared by coders and developers since 2009 with a better visual interface.
