Mix08 - Silverlight 2 "Deep Zoom" live at Hard Rock Memorabilia Site

There was an astounding demo during the Mix08 keynote this morning showcasing Silverlight "Deep Zoom" technology. The best part is you can check it out for yourself right now. Head over to the Hard Rock Memorabilia site and you'll have to install Silverlight 2 (only takes a moment).

Then you'll see this page with a few hundred high resolution photos from the Hard Rock memorabilia collection. Simply use your mouse to zoom in. I mean REALLY zoom in...

Check it out:

The main page where you can just zoom and fly around to various photos:

Here I zoomed in a bit on one of the guitars in order to check out the autograph

Here I just kept zoom zoom zooming right in and as you can see, you can get right up close

Extremely close! This is crazy... Check out the spring coils! Amazing...

I could not find any documentation on how to implement Deep Zoom, and after some hacking, I could create a basic working sample at http://www.silverlightrecipes.com/2008/03/silverlight-20-deep-zoom-using.html
