[OPLINTECH] PhotoSynth and SeaDragon-ajax

[JKENZIG]

Microsoft has been working on a web photo enhancing tool called
Photosynth for some time now.  Pictures created with photosynth are
called Synths and allow you manipulate and zoom in on them with 3d
effects. 
See:

The problem is of course is not everyone has the Photosynth plugin(which
requires IE7 and XP or Vista with an enhanced graphics card) and so you
don't get the full effect of the images.  Microsoft recently came up
with SeaDragon-Ajax to fix this problem and it really is a much cooler
solution because it uses javascript to enhance the image.  Libraries
could easily add this code to images by following the easy build steps
at the below page:
