Microsoft Silverlight based photo album service: DeepZoomPix

About what Silverlight is, let's recharge first:

Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-client platform technology that enables the design, development and distribution of web interactive applications with multimedia experiences and Rich Interface applications (RIAs).

SilverLight has caught the eye of designers and developers because it provides a powerful platform for developing Web applications with professional graphics, audio, and video that enhance the user experience. At the same time, Silverlight provides powerful tools to improve their productivity.

You may be more familiar with Adobe AIR than with Microsoft Silverlight, but let's agree on one thing: Silverlight and AIR have something in common. What's not: They weren't born to the same mother. Having spent so much time learning about Silverlight, let's move on to DeepZoomPix.

Deepzoompix is an interactive electronic photo album from Microsoft, which can give you different visual enjoyment! At MIX09, in addition to announcing the Silverlight 3.0 beta, Microsoft also demonstrated some other notable new products and technologies, one of which was Deepzoompix, a unique electronic photo album built using Silverlight's DeepZoom technology.

Deepzoompix is currently in Alpha testing, but you can sign in with your Window Live ID to enjoy it first. With the launch of Deepzoompix, Microsoft is hoping to provide users with a new, more interactive digital photo album.

You can use Deepzoompix to view other people's uploaded images in a way that has never been possible before, and anyone can experience how cool Deepzoompix is. Support single image browsing, playback, drag and drop operations. For multiple images or albums, Deepzoompix allows you to browse images in a unique Sideshow way, and its near-perfect presentation will definitely give you a strong visual impact, so that you can really enjoy! Deepzoompix Slideshow control is also commendable, several images can be selected in a variety of overlapping combinations, autoplay selection, mouse drag control and more, will give you a new experience!

If you have a Live ID, you can also upload your photos for everyone to share. However, it is important to remind everyone that the uploaded pictures do not have permission Settings, possibly because of the testing period. This means that the pictures you upload will be viewed by anyone. So don't post your intimate pictures before you experience them. See more instructions about Deepzoompix albums in the official, such as album space, photo size limits, traffic limits, etc., but for now, basic image uploading is smooth.

Even the upload function is so cool. If you want to share your pictures with your friends, there will be a share code after uploading. Copy the code, paste it into your blog, and your friends can experience the super cool image browsing effect. For example, JarryJarry uploaded the following (you must already have Silverlight components installed on your machine to preview properly) :

However, according to Microsoft, it is only a technology demonstration and will be closed on December 31, 2009. However, I believe that Microsoft will not give up this technology. At that time, it will be presented to the world under another name, with more powerful functions.
