Seadragon is an incubation project resulting from the acquisition by Microsoft of Seadragon Software in February. Its aim is nothing less than to change the way we use screens, from wall-sized displays to mobile devices, so that visual information can be smoothly browsed regardless of the amount of data involved or the bandwidth of the network.



Check out this clip on YouTube from a presentation given at the TED conference in Monterey:

Didn't we have video game tables like this in SU bars in the 1980's?

Bill Gates presents it here:
