Seadragon and Photosynth are two amazing technologies that provide astonishing viewing environments for pictures.
Seadragon allows you to zoom in to incredible detail with amazing speed and resolution

On that page you should in particular look at the kaleidoscope like image - there is a surprise there .. and the panoramic shot of Yosemite .. you can find people on a bridge if you zoom in enough at the right spot near the bottom of the waterfall.
This technology is married with an even more astonishing technology called Photosynth. It allows you to take a bunch of photos of the same scene or object and automagically stitch them all together into one big interactive 3D viewing experience that you can share with anyone on the web.
