I'm using Safari on an iPad, and for a moment I can see the page, but then it quickly disappears behind an impenetrable solid-black screen with nothing on it but the prompt:

"Tilt your screen."

It's a shame, and it doesn't befit the wondrousness of the content. Whoever came up with this brilliant UI idea should seriously re-evaluate what usability means to them.

Same here. If anyone is curious, here's a screenshot[1] from an iPad mini. Tapping, tilting, reloading do nothing.

Edit: Figured it out after actually looking at the graphic. You need to turn (not tilt) the device to landscape.

Even looking at the graphic, I didn't understand --- I thought they wanted me to tilt my iPad along the horizontal axis (pitch). When that didn't work I tried tilting on vertical (roll). It wasn't until the tablet slipped in my hands enough to rotate sideways that I got a clue.

Nope it works for me using latest version of Chrome.

For me latest Chrome is having repositioning issues on the top background image when scrolling up and down, causing it to look jittery until I stop scrolling. Navigation is working fine.

Works nicely for me in Firefox 24 ESR.
