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:

That playboy archive is a really cool example of how other magazines could digitize their archives. Also, for those of you hesitant to flip through it: Early Playboy is very tame. You could get 20 pages into the magazines without seeing anything nsfw.

I don't know about Deepzoom, but I know that the kids site Shidonni uses Silverlight quite successfully.

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.

This is the link to the home page

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
