IT occurred to me that the use of CSS parallax could be put to good use for pop-up book effects.
So I threw together a demo using a lot of "transform:"
styling on the various elements. Wall and ceilings have 3D rotations applied to them, and pretty much all content is somewhat pushed back away from the screen with "transform: translateZ(...)"
.
Neon labels are styled via EnjoyCSS, and some parallax structure was based on Keith Clark's parallax scroll demo #3.
Albrecht Durer's prints for Dante's Divine Comedy serve as base material as we take an elevator ride down into the bowels of hell.
(There are a lot of images on this page (since every layer is a different image), so it may take a while to load.)
