Check out www.jumpman23mosaic.com. It’s a five gigapixel “social mosaic� of photos of Air Jordan shoes submitted by fans.
Windows Azure currently supports the following two types of roles:
- Web role: A web role is a role that is customized for web application programming as supported by IIS 7 and ASP.NET.
- Worker role: A worker role is a role that is useful for generalized development, and may perform background processing for a web role.
Fans submit photos of their shoes online. Then every ten minutes Azure worker roles create a profile of new photos. The code inside the worker role looks at the colors in the user-submitted picture to decide where is the “right place� in the mosaic for the photo.
Azure Web roles work on the front end in collaboration with Silverlight Deep Zoom.
