Over at Michael Schwarz's Blog, he has updated the Silverlight Surface 2.0 demo to include support for multi-scale images with Deep Zoom.. This is a real treat to check out, and with the new code updates this demo is getting to be cool enough that you need to show your friends if they liked the demo at http://www.microsoft.com/surface.
Sidenote: Someone asked me if the WPF surface code/SDK was available yet recently and the answer is beyond the Silverlight stuff here, I understand that Surface is a commercial product, you'd have to talk to Microsoft about using it. I suspect it goes beyond these demo capabilities with it's motion tracking alone. But this is a great idea and you can figure out how to implement these features from the code here for your applications..
Oh and as for this demo, keep an eye out for the source code at the author's site he doesn't seem to have actually posted the new demo in anything but live format. The original code is still downloadable. He might just be packaging up the new stuff. The wow factor with deep zoom is way cool here..
