I am currently looking into using Silverlight and Deepzoom in a future project. Can anyone suggest some sites that make good use of these technologies?
The Showcase section of the Microsot Silverlight website has some great demos of Silverlight apps using DeepZoom. Just enter 'DeepZoom' in the search box and it should turn up a number of results.
Here are a few selected from there:
Two HardRock-'like' DeepZoom collections
a business application:
- Kelley Blue Book (car finder)
a tagged-photo example with DeepZoom
and a GPS-tagged-photo example with DeepZoom
- cities around the world with Virtual Earth (how-to)
I saw an amazing demo last week of a site that was about to go live: Pre Raphaelite Collection in Deep Zoom
Basically it's the entire Pre Raphaelite catalogue of a Museum in the UK - you can browse the collection and then pick images to deepzoom so that you can see the individual brush strokes - is really effective.
MGM used Silverlight Deep Zoom and Photosynth to create Stargate Destiny App. You can read about the making of here http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/Case%5FStudy%5FDetail.aspx?casestudyid=4000005102 and play with the app at stargate.mgm.com
