[whatwg] Proposal for HTML5: Virtual Tours

[Jesús Ruiz García]

Ok, you are right ^_^
Surely with Canvas (WebGL) can be created perfectly virtuals tours. I'll try
to do some testing and I will comment on results.

Rik good link ;), but would have to test how it behaves Canvas (WebGL) with
"hot spots". That is, for example when you have several rooms to visit:

By the way, what label should be used to indicate this type of media?.
Canvas?

Thanks group, You are very kind and geniuses.
