Photosynth e Seadragon no iPhone

Posted in Photography by FilipeFreitas on the December 14th, 2008

A Microsoft criou a Seadragon Mobile, uma aplicação que traz o Seadragon e o Photosynth para o iPhone!

Seadragon é uma tecnologia que permite navegar e visualizar colecções de imagens com uma facilidade e fluidez independente da quantidade de informação disponível. O Photosynth permite recriar um cenário através de várias fotos do local, e está construído com o Seadragon.

Seadragon Mobile brings the same smooth image browsing you get on the PC to the mobile platform. Get super-close in on a map or photo, with just a few pinches or taps of your finger. Browse an entire collection of photos from a single screen. You can browse Deep Zoom Images that you can create from your own pictures or your Photosynth collection (or anybody else’s).

A aplicação é gratuita e poderá ser descarregada pela App Store. O site App Shopper possui várias capturas de ecrã (clique para aumentar):

O blog da Microsoft Livelabs tem um vídeo que demonstra a aplicação tal como o Channel10 onde o Ben Vanik demonstra:

O site Techflash indica que a aplicação já traz algumas imagens exemplo, e que o Photosynth apenas está disponível em 2D:

Seadragon Mobile for the iPhone comes with a collection of about 50 sample images, ranging as high as 10 gigapixels, including satellite imagery, art and pictures of space. Seadragon Mobile also will let people zoom around the 2D images that make up Photosynth collections, although not the full 3D Photosynth “synths” themselves. In addition, people who create and upload Seadragon “Deep Zoom” images online will be able to use the Seadragon technology to view them.

Adam Sheppard (um dos fundadores da Microsoft Live Labs) discute no seu blog como a Microsoft está a ganhar terreno em relação à Apple quanto à forma de utilizar o espaço do ecrã:

With Seadragon you’re seeing Software and Services coming together in the vision that Rozzie and BillG have been touting for a long time. I’m not suggesting this is a product, it’s not. Seadragon is still a research incubation. But it’s not far off from being an enabling platform that could transfer the way you interact with the desktop, web and devices of the future.
