Microsoft Enters the App Store With Seadragon Mobile (VIDEO)

Microsoft has officially entered Apple’s App Store with Seadragon mobile. With intuitive scrolling, pinching, loading and data presenting techniques, the application is aimed at allowing users to browse massive amounts of data like never before.

Seadragon mobile (iTunes link) lends itself well to the cloud computing movement that has revolutionized data storage over the last few years. Presenting large amounts of data in increasingly convenient and efficient ways is a challenge for even the biggest companies, and the most talented developers.


Developer Ben Vanik explains some of Seadragon’s initiatives.

Seadragon Mobile brings the same smooth image browsing you get on the PC to the mobile platform. Get super-close in on a map or photo, with just a few pinches or taps of your finger. Browse an entire collection of photos from a single screen. You can browse Deep Zoom Images that you can create from your own pictures or your Photosynth collection (or anybody else’s).

Google leads the front on organizing, collecting and intelligently presenting large amount of data, however Seadragon is a novel attempt at making this accessible for end-users.
