Cool Stuff… I’m Cool Too!

I know everyone has been posting cool things on their blogs recently and I felt a little left out, but then I realised that I have been to some awesome sites and found some really cool stuff that other people might be interested in.

Here is a link to a video of something called PHOTOSYNTH which is a really cool way of visualising images (you’ll see what I mean when you watch it) and I think this kind of innovation is really key to interaction in the terms of screen-based media and usability. Based upon something called ‘SEADRAGON’ which can show hundreds of gigabytes of information on a screen at any one time because it only shows a certain number of pixels on the screen at a time… not just zooming out from a large original image.

Here’s a link to the photosynth live technical demo that you can download and play around with. Again very cool!
