Microsoft Research - HD View
HD View was developed with a number of goals in mind. It should:
* allow smooth panning and zooming on large images,
* only download enough data to create the current view (and possibly look ahead to the next), and
* always display the current field of view with an appropriate projection. This means that when zoomed way in you should be presented with a standard perspective projection providing a sense of immersion, and when zoomed out you experience a curved projection so that get a full overview of the scene. In between the projection should smoothly transition.
