@gosu, despite what Josh wrote, you can traverse your pointer across any part of the living photo online. :-)

Love that you picked up on the expressions! It wasn't until I got the photos out of the app was I fascinated by the same thing. I really can't wait to enable this functionality for everyone soon. :-)

More elaborate mouse movements are possible, only in HTML5 full screen mode; required to "capture" the mouse (think a game).

The problem with that, too, is that instruction or a tutorial is required. (I'd try to make things as intuitive as possible, despite the failure in the other thread RE UX and the infinite shutter.)

What was happening is that I was trying to keep the mouse in the control strip, and it would go off the right side of the image.

Thanks a lot, Josh.

Edit: By the way, the fullscreen functionality isn't launching. But I do have a weird browser (conkeror on xulrunner 22.0).

haha, no worries.

In the app, you need to start with your finger near the thumbnail strip. (But can move it away for fine-grained scrubbing if you wish.)

It's no surprise that the learned behavior is transferring to the web viewer.
