Microsoft has joined hands with Lionsgate to promote The Hunger Game, which hit the theaters this Friday. The Hunger Game revolves around the post-apocalyptic age, and the teenagers are selected to compete in a battle of survival.
The movie now has a special HTML5 version online, which produces movie effects as stream, video projections and lens flares. Microsoft has teamed with Lionsgate to promote the amazing power of HTML5 on Internet Explorer. The site is specifically designed for Internet Explorer 9, even though it works on all the modern browsers. The IE9 gives you all the effects that the site has.
There are some really cool features that showcases some deleted scenes kinds from the movie:
- In the Control Room you can type in “ivolunteer” on your keyboard after clicking on the map section
- In the Avenue of Tributes you can click on Katniss and then Peeta to reveal a clip from the training center
Earlier Microsoft’s IE9 had Cut the Rope made in HTML5 in it and now, The Hunger Games. This would obviously push the browser in showcasing its HTML5 capabilities. There are also some sites specific to IE and are yet to hit the public.
