It's all using bitmaps and not text but it's a very fun app: <A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/default.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/default.aspx</A>.</P> <P><IMG style="WIDTH: 316px; HEIGHT: 259px" height=64 src="http://www.sneath.org/tim/blsmal_jpg.jpg" width=76 mce_src="http://www.sneath.org/tim/blsmal_jpg.jpg">&nbsp;</P> <P>"The British Library have digitized the pages of fifteen of their most valuable works and created Turning the Pages, a browser-based WPF application that allows you to interact with these books in a virtual environment from the comfort of your home. You can open a book on your desktop and by clicking on a page, physically turn it in a 3D environment. You can zoom or pan around each of the pages; the page turns themselves are created by modeling the actually deformation of different types of material (for example, a book with vellum pages is far heavier than something printed on paper, so you'll actually see the page start to collapse under its own weight)."</P> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P> <P>-Chris Han</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1559795" width="1" height="1">Tim Sneath British Library WPF apps
