Google is continuing its HTML-based journey through imaginary lands. After a trip to the land of Oz in February, Google is now taking us for a tour of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth with a new Chrome experiment. The immersive "A Journey through Middle-earth" lets you wander across important locales from Tolkien's "The Hobbit," including Trollshaw Forest, Rivendell, and Dol Guldur.
The latest Chrome experiment was designed specifically for touch-enabled tablets, smartphones, and PCs, according to Google. But if all you have is a lowly keyboard-and-mouse PC, you'll be able to join in the fun too—in fact, you might have a slightly better experience in some respects.
The map of Middle-earth
As with other Chrome experiments, this tour through Middle-earth is most effective in full screen with the sound turned up. The journey mixes brief elements from the movies, soundtrack clips, and computer graphics.
You start off looking at a map of Middle-earth complete with clouds drifting over the 3D terrain. Google says the initial map was built entirely with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript—the three primary building blocks of the modern Web.
