Customer Feedback - e-Commerce

Using Zooming to understand Death and Taxes is what Jess Bachman did with an extraordinary poster detailing graphically the US government budget. Never before have I delved into the intricacies of government budgeting with any pleasure, but here I did it with glee. See where you tax money goes thanks to Jess, and to Zooming.

See his page with an embedded zoomorama of his poster here: http://www.wallstats.com/deathandtaxes/

Here what Jess has to say about Zoomorama for his web site:

Franklin,

Thanks for the updated code, I think my web guy just missed a section of it or something.  It looks as it is intended now. I really do like Zoomoroma and plan to use it for all my other products and blog entries.  DeepZoom is great from a performance aspect but it requires SilverLight 2 Beta and for someone of my limited coding capabilities I am reduced to using the simple and standard photozoom uploaded which allows one image per "DeepZoom".  I am glad you guys chose to put a lot of focus on the client side development and broad it down to a novice level.  Even Zoomify required some annoying flash importing/exporting.  You guys have done a great job. 

Cheers,
Jess

Luxury Goods Catalog

We get a lot of questions about e-commerce, and especially e-catalogs. We believe that Zooming will finally make the e-commerce experience more "natural". When you enter a store you are not greeted by a lot of text and some hidden walls, are you ? No, everything is in view for you to choose, no texts (maybe some small prices), and only when you are sort of decided do you get more details. We think this is the way it should be, this is what we are going to do.

Here you can get a taste of how luxury goods appear in a Zooming catalog. You get so much definition that you can almost "touch" the watches - it's the "sensual" interface. Thanks to CHANEL for lending us some images of last year's collection. CHANEL is on the forefront of technology for watch making, and it blends with style to make a beautiful product. They are wonderful and we love them. Thanks !
