In this article, I will explain how I built the Deep Zoom Obama project. It was developed in Silverlight 2 Beta2, uses Deep Zoom and is hosted on Silverlight Streaming (Microsoft’s free 10GB hosting service). It uses, of course, Deep Zoom to display a very large mosaic image of Barack Obama constructed from over 12,000 individual images of his supporters.
So how was it done? Read on young Skywalker.
