By the way, my applet also does orthographic projections.

Hi Ken...
You might look at JadeDisplay, which is an image display component
designed to work well with tiles and very large images. It may or may
not meet your needs but we recently released it Open Source (BSD-style
license):

Let me know if you find it useful.

This is what I'm talking about. The current fleet of
Java panorama viewers can display images usually less than
5000x2500 pixels -- more depending on the compression level.
The default memory settings for the current plugin are the
biggest limiting factor. And many panographers view Java
as being too slow compared to Flash. Flash is the preferred
deployment platform because it is more widely installed on the desktop
and doesn't seem to suffer from the severe
memory limitations of the current plugin. Also, people think
Flash is faster simply because it starts faster. A mis-conception
in my view.
What I'm trying to do with my applet is to try to service modestly
bigger panoramas -- perhaps 10000x5000 or a little bigger depending
on how rapidly the next generation plugin is deployed. Achievable
goals is my moto...
I hope you guys are planning for this kind of applet/application.
Cause if you aren't, Flash is really going to eat your lunch.

Drudgereport.com has this headline: "Prepare for the billion-pixel
camera...", it links to this article:
http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article3938717.ece
- it's about the gigapan project.
When Drudge links to something, a lot of people read it.
One cannot help but come to the realization that our once-esoteric
type of
photography is becoming more pedestrian.
