Microsoft's First iPhone App: SeaDragon Mobile
Posted December 14, 2008 at 3:56pm by iClarified
Microsoft, the world's largest software company, has released their first iPhone app dubbed "SeaDragon Mobile". Seadragon is an application designed to smoothly and seamlessly browse vast quantities of visual information, on wall sized displays or mobile devices, regardless of the amount of data. You can pinch and zoom around gigapixel images surprisingly fast according to Microsoft
Seadragon is designed to provide next-generation visual experiences, regardless of the size of the screen, size of the file or speed of your network. It's already available on a number of platforms, including Microsoft Surface, and in Photosynth and Silverlight. Now we're bringing that same graphical smoothness right to the iPhone in your pocket.
Update
Unfortunately the Browse functionality is no longer working.
The 'Browse Photosynth' functionality broke right after we submitted the app to the AppStore. Hopefully we'll get a new version with this fixed submitted to Apple in the next few days. Photosynth search and adding a user to view their Synths still works. Sorry!
