HTML5 Canvas Carousel

Update 21.09.2012 – We have fixed some navigation problems on mobile, the carousel is more responsive.

This is an amazing HTML5 Canvas XML Carousel presenting a 3D photo gallery in the shape of a carousel with tons of features. You can customize almost anything and the 3D reality presentation it’s so good that most probably you will never need another carousel.

This very complex HTML5 Canvas 3D Carousel is optimized for mobile devices (Android and IOS mobile devices such as iPad2, iPad3, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Tab etc). It not only runs on those devices but it acts like a native app, you can touch and drag/rotate the Carousel just as you would a native app. Please note that we have tested it on IOS (iPad2 and iPad3) and Android (Samsung Galaxy Tab) and the performance is really good especially on the iPad with IOS5 or higher (the canvas on this devices is hardware accelerated).

This HTML5 Canvas Carousel can have any image presented in any way you want: horizontal, vertical, oblique, also it has unique presets with pre-defined movements and presentations. You can also set the colors of the buttons, scrollbar preloaders border etc, basically the entire color and graphics theme can be modified. Moreover, all the buttons and scrollbar are optional.

All the options can be easily modified from the configuration XML file, therefore also the maintaining of the carousel it’s much easier.

Example for setting up the carousel:

JavaScript code: var cc = new CanvasCarousel(“myCanvas”, “load/config.xml”);
HTML code:

The CanvasCarousel JavaScript class function needs just 2 arguments: the canvas id and the path to the XML file. In this way you can declare multiple instances, creating a new CanvasCarousel instance for every canvas, with a different id and even a different XML configuration if you wish.

A help file is attached to the download file explaining all configuration tags and installation.
