iPhone application- Seadragon By Microsoft!

Seadragon By Microsoft
Microsoft Live Labs has released Seadragon Mobile for the iPhone/iPod touch. It is a free app that lets you “infinite zoom” gigapixel-sized images. So let loose the creative inside you and make full use of this application!

According to the Microsoft Live labs, “The aim of Seadragon is nothing less than to change the way we use screens, from wall-sized displays all the way down to cell phones, so that graphics and photos are smoothly browsed, regardless of the amount of data or the bandwidth of the network.”

Consider the following four “promises” of Seadragon:

  1. Speed of navigation is independent of the size or number of objects.
  2. Performance depends only on the ratio of bandwidth to pixels on the screen.
  3. Transitions are smooth as butter.
  4. Scaling is near perfect and rapid for screens of any resolution.
