My Digital Life

I just read a good post over on Steve Clayton’s blog about DeepZoom, it perfectly illustrates a conversation I had last week about the SeaDragon technologies.  At the time  I didn’t have net access so couldn’t demonstrate my point, but Steve’s quick mock up with some Paul Smith stuff is a great example of how DeepZoom could be used. 

Hopefully I’ll build something like this into a site I’m building for my better half, though I need to get my head back into dev stuff first!

Having seen DeepZoom, I’m really looking forward the release of the PhotoSynth technology, having the same zoom capability but also being able to move around the products in 3D will be amazing.

An interesting bit of new functionality here… the new beta of Silverlight Streaming includes the ability to upload a video file in a format not recognised by Silverlight and have a service in the cloud automatically transcode it into a wmv that can be streamed.
