A quick and not too slick look at the back end of Microsoft’s ‘Deep Zoom’ technology in silverlight.
Much more interesting and informative than the ‘Hard Rock Cafe’ example crammed into the tortuously long video from Las Vegas. Goes some way to answering my question posed during the event ‘where is the Aussie deep zoom content’? (If you know of any pls leave pointers here).
It shows how the grassroots community can always come up with something more valuable, less shiny and more credible than the big corporate. Hat tip to the hierarchy subverters who allowed this to happen (ceiling cat would be pleased). - OK a little birdy told me that Delicate Genius actually works for Microsoft so I must eat some humble pie and admit that I have no clue! (I do however enjoy the less perfect, more authentic tone of this short video over all the politically correct, glossy polished turds that usually emanate from big budget shows like MIX08 in Vegas).

Hi Mike, thanks for the kind words.
I’m so proud that you found the lo-fi quality of the video (and hopefully others) to be authentic as my goal is to totally capture things the way I see them with no editing (and usually 1 take)
And captured with the best little vid cam ever - http://delicategeniusblog.com/?p=644

I do also like how me being lazy comes across as authentic :-)
