Randy George writes "Using Deep Zoom Composer, images can be inserted at various locations within the zoom pyramid. This means full images of ... documents, html pages, schematics, data records, photos ... can be inserted down at lower levels of a main image’s zoom. Here is an experiment from a geospatial perspective looking at potential for this type of DeepZoom imagery. Live demonstration at GIS in XML"

From the GIS in XML blog : "One of the many announcements at the MIX08 conference is the availability of Deep Zoom technology for Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1. This results from an R&D program in Microsoft called Sea Dragon. Sea Dragon was evidently a Microsoft acquisition awhile back. Reminiscent of Keyhole(now google earth), Sea Dragon is a tool for smooth viewing of very large image resources. The novelty is to have it useable inside a SilverLight browser view."

For links to a live demonstration of Silverlight and more info on the Blue Marble project, visit the GIS in XML blog.
Deep Zoom a TerraServer UrbanArea 1 comment [+]
Another Deep Zoom GIS experiment unfolded today. This time, it's from the GIS in XML blog. From the blog's summary : "Just to show that I can serve a compiled Deep Zoom Silverlight app from various Apache servers I loaded this Denver example on a Windows 2003 Apache Tomcat here: http://www.web-demographics.com/Denver, and then a duplicate on a Linux Ubuntu7.10 running as an instance in the Amazon EC2, this time using Apache httpd not Tomcat: http://www.gis-ows.com/Denver Remember these are using beta technology and will requires updating to Silverlight 2.0. The Silverlight install is only about 4.5Mb so the install is relatively painless on a normal bandwidth connection."

For a live demonstration, as well as a very highly detailed link, please visit the GIS in XML blog.
