Making a Deep Zoom Slide Deck from Powerpoint

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.
