FileAPI demo in Firefox 3.6: reading EXIF ​​data from a local JPEG file

Paul Rouget put together an excellent demonstration of the new FileAPI , which we include in Firefox 3.6 . The demo allows you to drag a JPEG that contains EXIF ​​data from the desktop to the browser, and it can extract the GPS coordinates from the image and then load the location where the photo was taken - all from javascript.

If you have Firefox 3.6 beta , you can see a demonstration or just watch the video below.
