If you get a chance, check out the DeepZoom application that was done for TechFest. You can find it here.
The DeepZoom app contains a collection of posters that were put together by various researchers to describe their projects. There's some pretty interesting stuff in there. One of the ones I find especially interesting is Headlight, which is the 3rd poster down in the right hand column.
I was fortunate enough to be able to take Headlight for a spin, and it's a pretty slick add-on to Composer. The projects are very similar to Composer - you import images and lay them out, but you also have the chance to add tooltips, menus, and links to the items in the collection before doing the export. There is even an option to enable some metrics for items in the collection. The team working on the Headlight project doesn't have a public-facing site just yet, but keep this one on your radar - it might change the way you view ads.
