<p>A mosaic image, called a quilt, is created from a large (but finite) number of images submitted by people via the internet. Viewers, through the internet may view the quilt, zoom in or out, pan through the mosaic image to view images used to make the quilt and add there own images. Clicking on a particular image accesses text and other data on that particular image. A search engine allows the viewers to locate one or a related group of images. Images can be organized by hue or other attributes to generate an overall larger recognizable image (such as the Kodak logo, or outline of the continents). In the preferred embodiment, a mosaic of the world is the initial mosaic that is viewed via the internet and has the various mosaic tiles that make up the world replaced by a large number of images submitted in a predetermined, sequential manner by people all over the internet. <IMAGE></p> |
