zoom, zoom, zoom

zoomify's a nifty little programme that enables you to zoom in on and pan ultra hi res images in flash. its potential applications are really exciting. for example, you could embed sections of narrative in diverse physical locations and ask the viewer to locate them by 'deciphering' a symbolic key. cool.



on a similar note, keyhole corp, a company specialising in digital imaging is offering a one week free trial of its services. of course, this has everything to do with google's recent acquisition of the company.

"With Keyhole, you can fly like a superhero from your computer at home to a street corner somewhere else in the world - or find a local hospital, map a road trip or measure the distance between two points," said Jonathan Rosenberg, vice president, Product Management. "This acquisition gives Google users a powerful new search tool, enabling users to view 3D images of any place on earth as well as tap a rich database of roads, businesses and many other points of interest. Keyhole is a valuable addition to Google's efforts to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."
