  • Publication number: 20070230824
    Abstract: The present invention provides a unique method and/or system that facilitate navigating through the content of large images viewable on a wide range of computing devices, independently of the dimensions of their display area, and the dimensions of the digital images. The present invention creates dynamic digital images, which are displayed on a synchronized sequence to simulate a 2D and/or 3D visual experience. Such navigation allows the end user to zoom into or out, pan, and/or rotate the content displayed by using input components, such as touch pads, joysticks, and the like. The embodiments can be either stand-alone or client/server, based on the physical location of the images.
