It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. So if there was a way to put hundreds of pictures
on a single screen and make sense of them, that would represent
hundreds of thousands of words on a single page.
PivotFace creates a Silverlight Pivot Collection for you. This new control gives you amazing mastery over a collection of images.
You can sort, catalog, filter, and zoom easily.
See your collection of images spinning around as you narrow in on photos of interest. Zoom in on a group
photograph to see the face of the person in the back row, third from the left... Pivot Collections are amazing and exciting!
It is easy, and it is fun.
- Register for a free PivotFace Account.
- Use the Pivotizer to import your online images with tags and metadata (requires
a Flickr Account),
OR upload images and metadata directly to PivotFace.
- Generate and view your collection, it is that easy!.
- Categorize tags and metadata into facets. You should be warned that
defining facets does take some time. You will be continually refinning
them because they are something that evolve with experience. PivotFace
helps out by providing you with the tools, benefit of our experience, and the
ability to quickly re-gen and view until satisified. You will find this is
actually a lot of fun because you will 'see' things
you can do with your pictures and the underlying meta-data, and watch them
materialize in front of your eyes.
- Publish your collection.
Don't just sit there reading about it!
Go ahead and 'Pivotize' your "Flickr" images (up to 500 for free).
You can upload images and enter meta-data if you don't have a Flickr account, or
just visit the PivotFace gallery to see what others are doing with Pivot
Collections.
PivotFace.com is dedicated to exploring the possibilities of what can be done using Silverlight Pivot Collections.
Look for services and products centered around Pivot Collections to expand upon and take full advantage of this new innovation.
