This demo shows how SVG can be used to render images retrieved from the Flickr interesting photo source and provide a dynamic, interactive user experience.

The purpose of this demo is to show illustrate that SVG can be used, just like HTML, for AJAX applications.

The magnifier effect used in this demo was inspired by Jared Tarbell's text sphere. Here, the magnifier effect is applied on a single (horizontal) axis.

See attributions for details on using the Flickr APIs.

Running the demo
