Microsoft Wave (nothing to do with Google Wave) is a cool new site from Microsoft’s UK team. It shows off the latest developments and products that are coming out of Microsoft. You will find information on technologies like Photosynth, Worldwide Telescope and Deepzoom Composer, as well as Project Natal and Microsoft Tag.
There is plenty to discover on Microsoft Wave, no matter where you are in the world! Check out the learning center, and watch the videos!
Very nice!
I typically don’t write about specific partners that I work with, as I try not to endorse one over the other. They all do great work! However, the work that Vertigo has demonstrated over this last year has been very exciting, and in particular, their work around demonstrating the value of Silverlight 2 with the Hard Rock Memorabilia Site. Its an awesome demonstration of some of the new features in Silverlight, and specifically the Deep Zoom technology!
Deep Zoom (formerly known as SeaDragon) revolutionizes the way people 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 simple zooming interface allows users to explore entire collections down to specific details in extreme close-up, all with fantastic performance and smooth transitions.
Read the “bits behind the music” to learn more about the Hard Rock project. The project and work behind the Hard Rock Memorabilia site was so great, that Vertigo received the Web Development Partner of the Year from Microsoft.
