Animating with Canvas

has been supported on most browsers (and emulated on others) for a while now. Web developers have done some pretty cool stuff with- from niffty reflections to very cool charting [1] & [2] to UIs. Recently, I have noticed a few examples of usingto create animations. The results are pretty amazing and don’t seem to kill my CPU in the process:

• John Resig’s processing demos [1] & [2] (I hope these get published soon)
• Canvas Animation Kit Experiment [blog] & [demo]

And now we are getting 3D canvas too (Firefox and Opera). Sweet.

What’s it going to take to get this simple bitmap buffer into Internet Explorer?
