Internet portal giant MSN commissions Shoothill to celebrate Michael Jackson’s career
2nd July 2009
London, United Kingdom, (June 30th 2009). Shoothill - the leading
data visualisation company have created a DeepZoom mosaic to celebrate the
life of Michael Jackson.
The image has been developed and integrated into MSN, by Shrewsbury-based
Shoothill, (the UK’s premier developers on the DeepZoom platform) as a
tribute to the “King of Pop” and his illustrious career. Comprising of over
14,400 photographs spanning all five decades of his performing career, the
DeepZoom created by the company allows end users to the MSN site to ‘zoom’
directly to any one of the individual photos which make up the main image.
Rod Plummer MD at Shoothill said “DeepZoom has a truly amazing capability to
allow users to explore collections of super high resolution imagery, from a
2 or 3 megapixel shot from a digital camera to gigapixel scans of museum
pieces, all without waiting for huge file downloads When we combine
this within a massive mosaic the simple zooming interface allows users to
explore entire collections down to specific details in extreme close-up, all
with fantastic performance and smooth transitions. Shoothill has been
involved with Deep Zoom since its inception and we are delighted to have
been commissioned by MSN to showcase what it can do.”
