Zoomery Studio
Zoomery Studio is an extensible desktop application / framework that uses modules to turn any digital data into a Deep Zoom scene (hence the slogan
“anything zooms”). Most of the samples and examples on this website are built using Zoomery Studio and different modules. Also, the downloadable
Zoomery Gallery application is basically a limited version of the Zoomery Studio locked to only use the basic gallery module.
Unlike Zoomery Gallery, the full studio can be expanded with additional modules, that can be written using WPF.
Zoomery Studio first displays the scene in the application window, then it renders the various visual elements as one or - depending on the module settings -
more images. These images are then processed into Deep Zoom compatible image pyramids and assembled into an actual Silverlight Deep Zoom compatible structure.
Conversion between the WPF display and the final Deep Zoom format is handled more or less automatically, making the development of new modules really easy and simple.
It is an almost entirely WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) experience for both the end user and the module developer.
Zoomery Studio features
- Extensible module system
- Support for saving / loading projects
- End users can customize the scene through a property editor that exposes module specific settings
- Metadata support for scene elements
- Resulting Deep Zoom Silverlight application does not require ASP.Net on the server, and can be customized as needed, or entirely rewritten using some
helper libraries that provide zooming, metadata marshaling, etc support.
- Ability to fine tune compression settings (even per detail level) to achieve the optimal compromise between size and quality
Downloading or buying Zoomery Studio
Zoomery Studio is not available for download or purchase at the moment. If you are interested in using it or if you would like to learn more about it, do not
hesitate to contact us. Optionally you can also give Zoomery Gallery a try, which - being a limited
version of the studio - can give you an idea what Zoomery Studio is like.
Module Samples
Apart from our gallery module, which is available in Zoomery Gallery, the second most popular module for Zoomery Studio is our
presentation browser module. This module creates a searchable and zoomable repository of presentations the users can look at.
In addition to the two modules mentioned above, we also have a wide array of special modules that can demonstrate the power of Zoomery.
You can check these out in the module gallery section
