Seadragon Mobile Releases for iPhone
Microsoft Live Labs released a demonstration of Seadragon Mobile, https://livelabs.com/seadragon-mobile for its first mobile platform, the iPhone. Microsoft Live Labs has been experimenting with Seadragon technology on different platforms to validate the experience for as broad an audience as possible. This technology is an experiment from Live Labs, and in the future the group intends to bring it to Windows Mobile as well.
Seadragon is a way to see incredible detail from graphics and photos, regardless of the size of the screen, size of the file, or bandwidth of the network. At the core of its mission, Microsoft Live Labs is an applied research organization which advances the state of the art of Internet technologies and enables new scenarios for users. Bringing Seadragon technology to other platforms including Photosynth, Deep Zoom in Silverlight, Microsoft Surface, the recent release of Seadragon Ajax https://livelabs.com/seadragon-ajax/, and now the Seadragon Mobile viewer for the iPhone, are examples of Live Labs delivering on its mission and continuing to release and test the validity of its experiments with end users to collect feedback on the models and influence the next generation of Microsoft products and services.
