This looks like a great way to create these "scrolling experiences," but I've always found them highly distracting. I'm constantly scrolling to get the paragraph I'm reading in the "sweet spot" about 3/4 of the way up the monitor, and it bothers me when pictures are half-revealed by some scripting trickery. To me the constant "interaction" is more like a constant reminder that you are navigating a story on the Internet. Personally I like it when the page stands still and I read it from the top left to the bottom right, like a book page, then can click somewhere or hit a key and have it advance. I'm working on making my own thing like that based on the three-column journals of the 19th century, but all I have so far is some static html :(.
That said, this looks really useful for making that type of story/experience and I hope it's adopted and used tastefully.
