Dynamic DeepZoom – Superbock Cinema [EN]
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Autor: ricardo.fiel
Fullsix Portugal developed for SuperBock (a major portuguese brand) a new movie search engine, completely implemented in Silverlight and using other Microsoft technologies in the background (SQL Server Integration Services, Expression Encoder).
You can play with it at: http://www.superbock.pt/cinema/.
In the past DevDays 2009 event, the prototype for this application was presented, and it is now live with extra features and integration with the main SuperBock site. Any comments, suggestions, etc…, are welcome and you can drop me an email (ricardo.fiel at fullsix.com) or use the application’s “Dá-nos a tua opinião” area.
One of the goals of this application was to improve the User eXperience of the current Superbock movie search engine, taking advantage of some Silverlight features such as DeepZoom and Smooth Streaming (this last one is not available in the application yet). It is still in Beta stage and there are some improvementes which are being implemented.
To anyone interested, here’s an architectural overview:
I’ll be talking about dynamic DeepZoom in a future post.
See you later.
