First mobile application written by Microsoft has just
popped up on AppStore. Called SeaDragon Mobile, the application which comes
free of charge and measure about 1.1 MB is intended to let the iPhone users to
view, browse and share giga-pixel images.
SeaDragon is based on Photosynth software, which enables the
apparently easy creation of a 3D environment.
“Explore massive galaxies, pore over maps, or flip through
collections of photographs, all over the air. You can also add your own photos
or browse those already available on Photosynth.com”, it says the description
of SeaDragon Mobile.
Unfortunately, Photosynth functionality is currently not
working and Microsoft’s engineers are working to fix the problems.
Microsoft’s Photosynth service was launched earlier this
year.
The service allows users to upload their photos and then stitches them
into a 3D environment, creating a 360-degree visual experience called a
“synth”. The whole idea is to offer a new panoramic stitching tool, smarter and
easier to use than any other similar product.
As for iPhone, it seems like we would soon get other
applications from Microsoft. As CNET reported, Microsoft’s Tellme unit is expected
to release an iPhone app in the form of a voice-activated search.
