Sharing the Love of Zooming. Yours, @OpenZoom.

The OpenZoom Project promotes and supports the use of high-resolution images and Zoomable User Interfaces (ZUIs) on the web. OpenZoom provides frameworks, tools and documentation to enable you to create great user experiences.

OpenZoom SDK

The open source OpenZoom SDK incubation project will be, once released, a set of classes and components for the Adobe Flash Platform that enables you to easily build powerful applications which use zooming capabilities and multiscale images.

If you want to get a glimpse today, of what's going to be part of the SDK, there's a preview release of the Flex MultiScaleImage component which was built using the OpenZoom SDK.

Feeling adventureous? Go ahead and check out the latest code from the OpenZoom Google Code site.
