SeaDragon - Zoooooommmmm till you get tired!
Tuesday, August 01, 2006
Well, Seadragon is a software which will allow people to zoom the images in the smoothest way ever. It is a future product and is sitting in the labs at this point of time. It is also incorporated in Photosynth, so that the zooming of the 3D world gets better. The software's main aim is to allow people to view the things on various screens with ease, whether it's a mobile phone's screen or 70 Inch Tv screen and if there is a collection of thousands of images then also it will display it in a proper way.
Yes, it sounds strange and it is actually difficult to explain what exactly SeaDragon is all about, but this is what microsoft has to say about it :
Seadragon is an incubation project resulting from the acquisition of Seadragon Software in February. Its aim is nothing less than to change the way we use screens, from wall-sized displays to mobile devices, so that visual information can be smoothly browsed regardless of the amount of data involved or the bandwidth of the network.
Well, as I mentioned that it is bit difficult to explain seadragon but if you have a look at these two webpages then I am sure you'll get what Microsoft and I wanted to explain you..he he.
