My colleague Martijn Croezen created an awesome panoramic view with Silverlight 2 beta 1. Because he's a Flash developer with little .NET experience, I tried to help him out a bit with C# syntax and Silverlight objects, etc.
He used texture mapping to create the effect of a panoramic view using the inside of a cube to project the photo's on.
After trying to create this in Silverlight 1.1 alpha he found out there was a bug in the implementation of the matrix, so we were stuck.
With the release of Silverlight 2 beta 1 we decided to give it another go and the problem with the matrix seemed to be resolved.
One issue we still have is that Silverlight uses anti-aliasing which cannot be disabled. Therefore the edges of the images are "blurred" and the triangles used for the texture mapping are still visible (white lines).
