OpenSeadragon Deep Dive

You will master:

1. preparation of large images and their conversion using the CLI utility VIPS;
2. building a pipeline for batch image processing on Node.js;
3. displaying multiple images in one viewer and animating them;
4. customizing user interactions and animated transitions using Tween.js;
5. adding HTML overlays with additional information and links.

OpenSeadragon is the de facto standard for working with ultra-high-resolution images on the web. It is used by artists, libraries, museums, scientific and medical institutions around the world. It allows you to display images that are too large for the screen or even for complete transmission, providing a smooth transition from low to ultra-high quality.

The course will give you a clear understanding of the basic principles (tile pyramids, different coordinate systems) and guide you through advanced techniques that will help take your projects to the next level. You will work with real applications - from the first line of code to the final result.

The course is taught by Ian Gilman, creator and maintainer of OpenSeadragon.
