I have uploaded a collection of the Hyro Remix08 Photos on Flickr.  They mainly contain the keynote in Melbourne and the presentation I was involved with (Building Immersive Media Applications in Silverlight).  Melbourne town hall was an impressive venue.  Thanks to Richard and Hyro for the awesome camera.  Thanks to the guys at Microsoft for inviting us to speak. All the speakers rocked.

For those at Remix let me know if you want any of the originals.

Making a Deep Zoom Slide Deck from Powerpoint

Posted by Vaughan on May 25, 2008 in Silverlight | 1 comment

Many people at Remix08 were asking about the slide deck I had collated in Deep Zoom for the Building Immersive Media Applications in Silverlight presentation. This post is a brief overview of how to create a Deep Zoom slide deck, such as the one below. Click / drag / scroll around on it and you will get the idea. If you can’t see it you will need Silverlight 2 (currently beta) installed.

Now you have stopped playing with it, and decided to read this paragraph, there is one thing I should say.  I do not recommend everyone jumping ship and moving to a Deep Zoom slide deck, it is slightly technical, but there are certain situations where it shines.

So here are some easy steps to moving from a Powerpoint slide deck, to a high quality Deep Zoom slide deck.
