WOW! Try This! Interactive movie based on you!

Arcade Fire and filmmaker Chris Milk have created an experimental web-based film called "The Wilderness Downtown" that uses HTML5, Google Maps and Streetview to incorporate scenes from an address you enter into a multi-windowed web video.

The display of interactive elements and how they draw you into the video are stunning - and frankly a bit spooky. It's processor intensive, so use your best hardware and broadband, but definitely try it for yourself.
