Tokyo in Hipix app for iPhone and iPad

Tokyo seen like never before, using resolutions available nowhere else on an iPad.
The amazing Tokyo photography of the renowned Tomoyuki Uchida is brought to life, and enhanced, on the iPad platform using the unique hipix technology.

Amazing Resolutions
Hipix allows huge images to be displayed on mobile devices, even up to Gigapixels. Hipix uses an advanced tiling method combined with a pyramidal image model. Thanks to it’s ability to utilize hardware support, hipix enables a smooth, pleasant and responsive viewing experience.

Astonishing compression
This amazing album includes 24 images that total over 1.5 GIGAPIXELS! . Thanks to the hipix compression, these images are transferred in a data file totaling a mere 70 Megabytes in size. This compression ratio is nothing short of astonishing. And the quality of the images is accurately maintained.

Advanced tags
On top of these amazing images, hipix allows building an interactive, enhanced image browsing experience – one which is accompanied by sound, animation, links, text and more. The application even allows the user to easily add their own voice recordings, links, text and more to desired locations within the image.
Click on the various links, sounds and animation that will allow you to learn so much more about Tokyo than browsing just the image. If you have a memo you wish to record about a place, a web link related to an image or even location or contact info – simply tap on the required location in the image to add your own metadata.
