Ever marveled at the way many retail sites create
360 views of products? Now you can bring your own photo albums to life by clicking and dragging left and right on a photo in full screen mode. This works especially well if you put an
object on a turntable, but even if you're not looking to create a 3-D effect, it also provides a unique browsing experience for albums in general, like our featured shots from the
2010 Winter games.
This feature is available in our embedded album viewer, or if you prefer to host a viewer and images on your own site, check out the
Swivel Viewer site at
code.google.com, where you'll find an Open Source embeddable album viewer that also supports zooming and panning.
