If you Silverlight 2 Beta 1 announcements at MIX, you should know that Silverlight 2 includes support for the Deep Zoom technology to allow you to quickly and smoothly zoom in on really large images. You have to check it out to see what I am talking about, it’s pretty crazy cool. If you want to see an amazing implementation of the Deep Zoom technology, check out the Hard Rock Memorabilia site: http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/
Deep Zoom Composer allows you to quickly import your own images, arrange and position them to your liking, and export the final output as either a Deep Zoom Image or Collection that can be fed into Silverlight’s MutliScaleImage control. This means that you too can use your own images and display them using our Deep Zoom technology.
Deep Zoom is related to the SeaDragon technology that Microsoft has been demoing in their PhotoSynth application.
