Back in July’08 I had written a post about Deep Zoom as part of the Silverlight 2 cool features that originated from SeaDragon which is a Live labs project which provide users a new way for people to interact with content.  It allows users to explore collections of super high resolution imagery, from a 2 or 3 megapixel shot from a digital camera to gigapixel scans of museum pieces, all without waiting for huge file downloads.

The Seadragon capabilities is already made its way into TouchWall, Microsoft Surface and also available in Silverlight as can be seen at the Hardrock site.

Today Livelab brings “Seadragon Mobile” to iPhone for viewing giga-pixel images. You can browse Deep Zoom Images that you can create from your own pictures or your Photosynth collection or anybody else’s.

There is a excellent video by developer Ben Vanik about this new experience that SeaDragon Mobile can provide on mobile devices.

Seadragon Mobile is available for free at the iTunes App Store.
