Deepzooming your photographs
We all are aware of the fact that as we zoom out our photographs, the pixel breaks and we are no longer able to have a clear view. But, now with the help of a new technology called deepzoom, you will able to zoom in and zoom out your pictures to any extent, and still very comfortable to the eyes.
You can also create a composition using a large collection of images. The users will be able to move around zooming any part/region they want. The region that is being viewed will be fixed first. So, it is fast too.
The MSP photochain (http://student-partners.com/photochain.aspx) had inspired me very much, and I wanted to do the same for my class. So, I played with deepzoom using some of my classmate photos and here is what I came out with.
