Google Doodle : Steer a Submarine

It is very generous to identify people who have influenced our lives very much and honor them on the Internet. Google are at it again through their Doodles . Today they are changing their logo to look like the front view from an artistic ocean (or more like goggles of a sea diver) in honor of Jules Verne. Again Google has used HTML5 to implement the Doodle thereby showcasing their support for this emerging technology.

A small history lesson. Jules Verne is a French author who wrote science-fiction. His best known novels include Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth(1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). However he is highly reputed for the reason that he wrote about air,under water and space travel in a time when they were not practically used. For this reason they also regard him as one of the "Fathers of Science Fiction". 


More about the doodle. It is essentially showing the ocean from the front of a submarine. Due to the use of HTML5 we are able to move the view up,down,left and right. As you go from the top to the bottom we find the different fish being portrayed. Though the left to right movement is very limited , the movement from top to bottom is pretty good. Nevertheless one of the best ways to remember the great Jules Verne.
