10 Cool Chrome Experiments You Should Try

1. The Searching Planet

Check out the experiment here .

2. 100,000 Stars

3. Kandinsky

Yet another Google creation, Kandinsky is a part of Google’s Chrome Music Lab: a chrome experiment aimed at teaching kids more about music compositions, harmonics and things related to sound. The Chrome Music Lab contains a lot of experiments aimed at increasing the user’s knowledge in a variety of sound related domains, ranging from music composition, to sound waves and harmonics.

4. Virtual Reality

5. 3D Periodic Table

6. Interstellar Endurance Exploration

Remember the Endurance ship from Interstellar ? Warner Bros., Xymatic & AvatarLabs co-created a Chrome experiment where the users can move around and explore the Endurance inside their web browsers. While the experiment is not too exciting, and not much happens inside the Endurance while the user is there, it definitely is something worth a try, especially for people who are very interested in exploring the Endurance far beyond what the movie showed.

7. WebGL Water

The scene is completely interactive, and even includes accurate raytraced reflections and refractions, analytic ambient occlusion, heightfield water simulation, Soft shadows and Caustics. The experiment goes to show just how powerful JavaScript and WebGL technologies are.

8. The Wilderness Downtown

• It uses multiple browser windows that are choreographed together to show different content in a way that it flows together and looks very cool.
• It uses the Google Street View and Maps API. These are used to tailor the short film to the user’s locality. The experiment actually shows street view images from the user’s neighbourhood (or city), in a way that it looks tied into the film itself.

Check out the experiment here .

9. Browser Ball

10. Cube Slam

Yet another experiment created by Google, Cube Slam is a pong-like game where you have to disable the shields on the opponent’s side. Now, this might not sound exciting enough, but Cube Slam adds another awesome feature to the game. Users can play this game over the internet with their friends , and the game actually displays their friend’s webcam feed on the screen while they play, giving the impression of actually playing face to face against your friend, which makes the entire experience a lot more fun.

Experiments with Google is a cool website where people create fascinating projects using artificial intelligence and machine learning. These projects push the boundaries of technology, ranging from mini-games that can be played on budget Android phones to more robust Chrome browser experiences. Thousands of these experiments are on the website, with new ones added weekly. We curated our top favorites we think you should try out.

If you want to give Gemini a try, these tips and tricks will help you out

Android Experiments

Google Experiments cut across Android, Chrome, AI, art and culture, and so on. We kick off with Android Experiments, and there's a ton of them.

Home Screen Arcade

Home Screen Arcade is a retro game that runs on the home screen of your Android phone or tablet. The game controllers are a set of widgets, and all the action takes place in a live wallpaper. Your score and game status are shown in pop-up notifications as you progress.

Follow these steps to get started with Home Screen Arcade:

• Download and install the app.
• Open the app.
• You're asked to choose from four arcade games: Invaders, Block Drop, Maze Man, and Pinball. Select a game.
• Click Set wallpaper .
• If you're using the app for the first time, add the app's widgets to your home screen to begin the game.

Wearabird is a more advanced concept than Home Screen Arcade. It requires an Android Wear smartwatch alongside your Android phone or tablet.

The game requires you to flap your arms like wings to control a bird to pick up coins in the air. It uses the sensors in your watch to detect your movement. Flapping causes the bird to soar, and it descends when you stop.

Chrome Experiments

If there's a world of Android Experiments, there's a galaxy of Chrome Experiments. Here are some of them.

Google Gravity

Google Gravity is a simple Chrome Experiment that is based on gravity. Launching the project takes you to the Google Search home page.

The page barely stays a second before everything starts crashing down. You can then move on-screen items however you wish, but they always drop to the bottom.

One Million Stars

Anyone with an interest in science will enjoy One Million Stars . It takes you on an interstellar journey from the Earth to our home galaxy, the Milky Way. You control the pace at which you move in and out using your mouse or the horizontal slider at the bottom of the screen.

The most interesting part of the experience is Local Stars, which shows the sun by default. You can explore other stars, like Sirius, Canopus, and Andromeda, alongside real astronomical data detailing what we know about them.

Astronomy beginners will benefit from taking a guided tour, which tells a story as it pans from one image and celestial body to the next to help you understand the solar system.

AI Experiment

Artificial Intelligence is another space where Google is always trying out new things, most of which you can find in Google Search Labs . For this article, we explore popular experiments created by tech-savvy individuals.

Infinite Drum Machine

Infinite Drum Machine is a fun AI experiment that lets you create beats from everyday sounds. Launching the project brings up a color-coded map made of several dots. Each dot represents a sound, which can be anything from human and animal voices to objects like doors jamming or cars crashing.

The sounds are grouped based on similarity. For example, archery, shattered glass, and a camera shutter are close to each other. After combining the sounds, use the bottom bar to arrange the positions to your liking. When done, tap the play button and listen to the melody (or cacophony) you created.

Talk To Books

Unlike Infinite Drum Machine, which was trained with audio, Talk To Books was trained on about 1 billion lines of dialogue from a database of around 100,000 books. It's a unique way to search without a search engine.

This natural language processing (NLP) model is advanced, being able to respond to your questions and statements with appropriate quotes from any of the books. It works pretty well, whether you're asking general questions like "What is the meaning of life?" or specifics like "Why did World War I happen?"

Arts & Culture Experiments

Aside from the dedicated Arts & Culture platform , Google has several experiments showcasing art and cultural content from various parts of the world.

Don't Touch The Art

Don't Touch The Art is a game where you control a stick figure through an ascending gallery of several artworks. The game's goal is to navigate your way without touching any of the pieces.

If you touch an artwork, the figure falls, and the game ends. The game-over screen shows the titles, artists, and release dates of the pieces you got through and the ones you touched.

Color Hunt is a fun experiment that lets you paint famous artworks. You launch the experiment and pick an art piece.

The algorithm identifies and removes the dominant colors in the painting. You then turn on your webcam to find colors, which are used to fill in the different parts of the piece to make a new version.

Navigating Google's vast world of experiments

From gaming on your Android device's home screen to interstellar journeys in your Chrome browser, Google Experiments presents a platform for individuals to push the boundaries of technology and unveil innovative experiences, each inviting the user to interact, learn, and imagine beyond the ordinary.

Amidst this canvas of exploration, Google as a corporation has developed several groundbreaking products over the years, a testament to its commitment to innovation. Yet, in the pursuit of progress, some of these products, once hailed as pioneers, meet their demise year after year. The company killed off several products in 2022 and even more in 2021 . It'll be interesting to see the list for 2023.

Wireless Charging May Be Slow, But I Still Think It's a Must on My Phones

Chromebooks might switch to android: 4 features i want in an android laptop, netflix launches new virtual fireplaces to waste your time this christmas.

It's no secret that some of us have a love-hate relationship with Google Chrome . The browser takes up more resources than any other, but it has its positive points too. For example, it is blazing fast, especially with JavaScript . If you want to see the full scope of this, check out Chrome Experiments.

Chrome Experiments is a Google project to showcase creative efforts by web developers who use new Internet standards like JavaScript, HTML5, WebGL, Canvas, and more. It's a great way to play with, learn about, and experience these new browser technologies .

Of course, not everything you get is gold. Some Chrome Experiments are quite silly, but some are downright brilliant. We've featured 10 amazing experiments once before, so we dug into the catalog to find 10 more—and dare we say, better—Chrome Experiments that you have to check out.

Chrome Globes [No Longer Available]

Google's most ambitious Chrome experiment was the WebGL Globe, where they created the spherical earth and turned it into an open platform for geographic data. What this means is that any developer in the world can now add data based on location, and have it represented in cool visuals.

The WebGL Globe was so popular that Chrome Experiments had to start an individual page for it. Heck, just a while ago, I looked through the list to find real-time maps of the Earth and was astounded by the sheer variety available here. It's impossible to choose the "best" Globe on Chrome Experiments, so just check out the WebGL Globe page . I particularly like the real-time Bitcoin globe and the volcanoes of Planet Earth.

A World of Change

While partially based on the WebGL Globe, A World of Change does a lot more. At its core, it marries Google Search Trends with the WebGL Globe to show you what climate change topics the world is searching about, in real-time. Each search will turn the globe and show you the phrase.

And then it goes a little further. You can tap any major city available on this globe to find the last few searches there, or the most popular climate change topics there. It's providing a deeper insight into which issues affect which parts of the world, not just climate change as a larger global phenomenon. Overall, this is a fascinating visual reminder of our need to go green with our computers and other technology.

BioDigital Human

BioDigital Human lets you check out every inch of the human body in a Google Maps-like interface. It's a fascinating, detailed look at every nook and cranny of the male or female body, including a bare-bones skeletal body, individual organs, muscles, veins and arteries, to a fully fleshed out body.

What's particularly fascinating is the labelling. From a menu on the left, choose what system you want to look at (like the respiratory system or the cardiovascular system) and only that will be highlighted, along with a clear explanation of what it does. Similarly, the "Conditions" tab highlights common ailments or medical procedures like an angioplasty or diabetic kidney problems, complete with a detailed explanation.

BioDigital Human has a premium version too, but the free version is good enough for most users. Just remember, when you're asked to log in, it's best to create a new account. Using Google or Facebook logins can lead to data theft .

PlanetMaker

Carl Sagan's famous "pale blue dot" speech will forever be enshrined in our hearts, but what if you got to reimagine it? What if you were God and were bestowed with the powers to turn Earth into a completely different planet, choosing its shape, size, terrain, and all other aspects? Live out this fantasy with PlanetMaker.

You can alter the texture of the surface, change the lighting and direct where the sunlight should fall, choose what kind of atmosphere it should have, and even add Saturn-like rings around your planet. You start off with the Earth and then let your imagination run wild.

This is perhaps the most fascinating toy in the Chrome Experiments universe, and a wonderful way to safely keep your kids entertained on the computer .

100,000 Stars

Perspective. That's what you get when you visit 100,000 stars. It's a galactic, accurate mapping of a hundred thousand stars that scientists have plotted so far in our galaxy. Starting from our solar system, you can zoom in and out, and pan to different directions, just like you would while using a 3D Google Map.

To begin, click the button in the top-left corner for the guided tour that takes you from our sun all the way out to the Milky Way, peppered with interesting astronomical facts along the way. At the end of it, you'll be simply mesmerized by large the universe really is, and hopefully develop a whole new perspective towards our tiny selves.

And in case this gets you thirsty for more space nerdery, we have a few other unmissable tools for space exploration and knowledge .

A Journey Through Middle Earth

Fans of The Lord of the Rings (and shame on you if you aren't one), this one's for you. This Chrome Experiment was made as a part of the promotion for filmmaker Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, which carefully maps out all of Middle Earth, the fantasy world envisioned by author J. R. R. Tolkien.

You can walk along with the heroes of the Hobbit movies, as Bilbo and the dwarves make their way through treacherous terrain and fantastic landscapes. You can even fight in a battle or two. But most importantly, you get to feel like you're a part of the LOTR world, and not just a spectator. We loved it when it was first released, and we still love it now.

Psst, Tolkien fans, we have more awesome apps for the Middle Earth obsessed .

Peanut Gallery

If you love silent films of the Charlie Chaplin variety, you're going to really dig this one. Peanut Gallery lets you make your own silent movies! It's an experiment to showcase Google's Web Speech API, which converts your speech into text in Google Docs , Chrome, and other apps. Here's how it works.

So basically, a silent film starts playing. Keep your computer's microphone on and speak when you want to. That will add a "dialog card", which transcribes whatever you say. Put in a few of those and you're making your own plot, albeit with old, pre-made footage.

Still, it's super fun and would make great entertainment for the kids. Don't forget to give it a title, and maybe even share your creation in the comments below.

Google Map Dive

Everyone loves Google Maps and its little mascot, Pegman. But Pegman has a secret passion which he hasn't told many people about, till now. Pegman loves sky-diving and he needs your help. He has selected seven iconic locations across the globe, and he's going to leap out of the sky to get to them.

As his "navigator", its your job to control his descent. Go from ring to ring to collect stars and avoid objects to make your way to the landing pad. Google's love for Easter eggs means you should keep your eyes peeled for some cool sights along the way down. Who knew Google Maps could be so much fun?

All Is Not Lost

Alternative rock band OK Go, famous for making awesome music videos on YouTube , made a mesmerizing Grammy-nominated video a few years ago with dance company Pilobolus for their song All Is Not Lost . Pilobolus, wrapped in green jumpsuits, contort their bodies in perfect choreography to make different shapes.

Well, Google asked for it to be made into a Chrome Experiment that will blow your mind. Start it up and write any phrase you want. Give it a few minutes and then you'll see the phrase being recreated in a collage of tiny Chrome windows, as Pilobolus members contort their bodies to form those letters. Here's what it looks like...

Circle Game

A sea of different colored circles are flying around the screen from all directions. In this, you are one tiny circle, controlled by your computer's mouse. The laws of nature are your only hope of survival. Eat smaller circles and avoid larger circles. Every time you eat a smaller one, you grow a little, letting you eat your previous size. How long do you think you can survive?

There's something calming about the array of colors, but at the same time, your adrenaline kicks in as you grow bigger and bigger, testing your reflexes to the max . The Circle Game is so simple, so relaxing, so addictive, and so jaw-clenchingly frustrating that you'll be hooked for hours. Don't say we didn't warn you.

One of the earliest Chrome Experiments that had us hooked, CubeSlam, is air hockey on the Internet… only better in every way. The simple rules of air hockey apply, where you're protecting your side from being hit while trying to get the puck (or block, as it is designed here) to hit the opponent's side. But with every level, the board changes a bit, and new bonus features keep coming up, like "crazy puck", or a gun to shoot objects, or a vortex in the middle of the board that launches the puck anywhere.

If that wasn't enough, CubeSlam adds one amazing aspect: live multiplayer. You can invite a friend and his live Webcam feed will show up on the opponent's wall.

So you're actually talking with each other, hurling insults and abuses, and seeing the pain of a loss live! You don't need to install anything apart from Google Chrome, and it's completely free to play for hours, which makes this one of the best browser-based two-player games out there.

Your Favorite Chrome Experiment?

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and the Google Experiments page is filled with many, many more. For example, there's the awesome Build With Lego project to construct virtual Lego houses on a Google Map of the real world, or the fantastic GeoGuessr game .

The best Chrome experiments to show off your browsing power

Now, after several years of innovation and development, there are hundreds of Experiments from eager developers around the world who would have never been able to share their projects otherwise. Whether you want to pass the time, employ your thinking muscles, or amaze your eyes, these Chrome Experiments have something for you. We’ve collected our favorites.

A word about compatibility : Experiments generally remain compatible as long as you are using a Chrome browser or mobile device – that’s one of the benefits of these fun little programs. However, that’s not always guaranteed. Most Experiments have a “Technology” section you may want to glance at if you encounter any problems. The list may include technology that your current device or setup doesn’t support: Keep Chrome updated to help with this. Also, keep in mind that some Experiments are made to only work on a mobile Chrome platform.

Music and visual

Patatap provides a sound kit on all devices that responds to sound selections by producing moving shapes. Tap your screen or keyboard in various places to create and combine different sounds, then watch the basic color-and-shape animations follow suit as you make your own music video. The color palette and soundscape options can be switched at any time. Whether you are trying to distract kids or yourself, it’s a good choice.

Plink is an incredibly innovative music experience that musicians and music-lovers of all kinds will enjoy – often together. It’s a multiplayer tool that allows you to create various musical riffs by moving your mouse – but the real fun comes when connected to three different people online. Here, you can use three different effects as one to create a whole jamming session worth of potentially awesome tunes.

Virtual Art Sessions

This one is a bit difficult to describe, but absolutely worth the experience. It’s a virtual reality documentary of sorts, except it also takes place in a virtual 3D world. The piece is divided into six sections with six artists composing works. You can pan, rotate, and zoom in any direction to watch all of them working at once, and – look, we said it was hard to describe. But if you have any interest in tech or VR, you owe it to yourself to try this out.

The Wilderness Downtown

Even people who have no idea what Chrome Experiments are often recognize Wilderness Downtown, one of the first major Experiments, and certainly the first big success. Back in 2010, this little interactive film went viral, quickly becoming one of the must-have web experiences of the time. It uses the song We Used to Wait by Arcade Fire, and creates a beautiful music video that channels through multiple Chrome windows while also pulling information about your childhood neighborhood from Maps. The result…well, if you haven’t tried it yet, you need to.

Square Mirror

There are a ton of cam-based visual Experiments, but we like this one for its unique take on the genre: It uses your webcam to replicate images in a vast jumble of colored squares – something both fun and quietly disturbing. If you like it, we highly suggest Paint Mirror and Stretch Mirror, which are by the same creator and also hit that mid-point between creepy and beautiful.

Video Puzzle

While it’s technically a kind of game, the value of Video Puzzle comes from its fascinating visuals. The Experiment automatically forms a puzzle out of a video, while that video is playing. It challenges you to keep track of what’s happening in the video at all times. This interesting take on puzzles is particularly fun for kids, and effortlessly shows off what Chrome can do with a little thought.

The Peanut Gallery

Start with a silent film clip from the early days of Hollywood. Speak along with the scenes however you choose. Have your speech automatically converted into text and shown as classic silent film intertitles. Now, share with friends. This is the essence of Peanut Gallery, and the results can be remarkably hilarious. Try it at a party, or use it when everyone is having a boring day.

Design, Games, and Science

Webgl water simulation.

The idea is simple: You have a digital pool of water. Now play with it. This quickly yields both an entertaining distraction and an impressive lesson in 3D effects as you bob a sphere and see how it changes both the rippling water and the light reflecting from above. Not only does it show what Chrome is capable of, it’s also surprisingly soothing, in a bath-time kind of way.

Generative Machines

Soothing in a very different way, this program…well, it generates machines. Specifically, it uses an exploding view trick that allows you to pull super-weird machine puzzles apart and push them back together at will. Laugh at the crazy engineering – or try to see if any of it actually works.

This is an advanced, Lego-ish game that allows you to pick from a number of brick shapes and attach them to create your own elaborate 3D models. It’s not quite Minecraft, but it is an excellent way to use your imagination in a casual way, and some of the results can resemble true masterpieces.

PlanetMaker

One of the more beautiful Experiments, PlanetMaker challenges you to turn earth into a completely different planet by tweaking the light, atmosphere, weather and more. You can even upload your own graphics to play around with different possibilities. It’s super fun for the sci-fi fan – and the other Experiments by Kevin Gill are similarly fascinating, and well worth exploring.

Hydra is, at its heart, a digital shadow maker. You choose from 101 different shapes, and use them to create various shadows against a white background. The goal is to create “hydras” or monster shapes with the tools provided. Kids can utilize their imaginations, and adults can join in on the fun as well. Remember to save your hydras with a funny name for maximum effect.

It’s a super simple game, but it can still stave off boredom: This Experiment generates a bunch of balls in your Chrome window. You can pull and drop the balls however you want to see if you can create more. Moving the window can also shove and tip the balls. This works a little better on mobile devices, but it’s amusing either way.

A Dark Room

Do you miss the simple days of text adventures – or did you never get a chance to try them out? A Dark Room is a free, minimalistic journey in the style of old-time, interactive text stories and quests. Use your imagination, type in your responses, and survive the dark room!

Out of all the Chrome Experiment games, this is the most innovative we’ve seen. It’s made to work across Chrome-compatible mobile devices so you can play with nearby friends. Each person gets a piece of the racetrack, and the phones must be held together the right way to complete the track and avoid crashes. Anyone can accelerate the car by tapping their screen. It doesn’t always work right, but it is always fun.

GeoGuessr is a well-made geographical quiz game with an amazing twist: Instead of just giving you clues about a location, it uses mapping technology to effectively drop you on a random street corner in the world: Using streetviews and deduction, can you work out where you are? There are multiple modes for a variety of landmarks and location types.

Look for a more traditional type of game? Check out X-Type, which is your basic spaceship shooter, except that it can run on a Chrome browser. It’s also a real challenge with endless boss battles and an infinite increase in difficulty.

BioDigital Human

We have to hand it to the BioDigital Team, this interactive tool is way more impressive than any textbook. Using over 3,000 models (all peer reviewed for accuracy), the program lets you take a tour through every part of the human body – and that’s just the start. You can dissect, create cross-sections, search for specific data relationships, and a whole lot more. Unless you’re dealing with an actual cadaver, it’s one of the best ways to study the human body in 3D.

The WebGL Globe

Tapping into the growing GIS (geographic information system) market, this nifty Experiment is an open source program that allows people to upload various types of geographical data over the entire world. Viewers can then use various color gradients and visualizations to view them – making it a great tool for research and presentations covering anything from Bitcoin activities to meteorite landings.

If you thought the best graphics cards already drew a ton of power, you're in for a rude awakening. A series of claims surrounding Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs say that the next-gen cards will push power limits even further, with a flagship card like the RTX 5090 drawing as much as 600 watts.

Nvidia has yet to even announce RTX 50-series GPUs, but we've already seen some troubles with the Blackwell architecture the cards will use in the data center. Official details on the cards are few and far between, but a handful of sources now claim the RTX 5090 will push power limits beyond the 450W we saw with the RTX 4090 in the previous generation. The most recent speculation comes with well-known leaker kopite7kimi, who claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that the RTX 5090 will go up to 600W, while the RTX 5080 will require 400W.

If you want to choose the best RAM for your PC, you'll be faced with a lot of terms that may not sound familiar at a glance. DDR? DIMM? CAS? XMP? When you just want something that goes well with the rest of your PC, having to pull out a dictionary before you shop can be pretty daunting. Fortunately, picking RAM is fairly straightforward once you understand what RAM is, what you need, and what it means.

In our RAM buying guide, we'll walk you through the process so that you can be happy with your choice. Understanding RAM The thing about RAM is that you don't need to fully get what each and every spec is responsible for -- not unless you want to. If you're building a barebones office PC, even sub-optimal RAM will make it run; the problem is that it won't run nearly as well as it could.

Yesterday, in a blog post on Google's security blog, Willian Harris from Chrome's Security Team said that Google is improving the security of Chrome cookies on Windows PCs by adopting a similar method used in macOS to help protect users from info-stealing malware.

The security update addresses session cookies that authenticate your identity when you switch apps without logging back in. Google wants to adopt the security system used by Keychain on macOS and start using "a new protection on Windows," which updates Data Protection API (DPAPI) and brings a new security tool called "application-bound" encryption.
