This WPF Application for the British Library is Awesome
January 31st, 2007 by ryanstewart
Tim Sneath showcased a Windows Presentation Foundation app today over on his blog for the British Library. This thing is absolutely awesome and shows why 3D interfaces are not just frivolous eye candy. In this case, the books really seem to come alive. Tim has all the info on the application, so I’ll just steal one of his screenshots and post a link to the XBAP. You’ll need to be running Internet Explorer with the .NET 3.0 Framework installed. Interestingly, there is also a Shockwave version but I thought the WPF version was much better.

Frak, one of my new years resolutions was that I wanted to have fewer Microsoft applications/installations on my computer by the end of the year. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to use my imagination to see how this app might work. I’ll be it looks a lot like pages in a book turning.
