After spending last week at SHiFT'08 Conference in Lisbon I must say that it surprised me a lot being surrounded by such a great amount of people and speakers. I participated in the conference delivering a workshop about DeepZoom during the first day of the conference, the presentation is also uploaded to my Slideshare account and the content used in PhotoSynth was uploaded to my synth account.
I would love to hear your thoughts about the technology and if you have any doubt or any request about how to implement anything, I would be more than happy to help you.
