Apple Store’s Image Zoom is the Best
Posted on May 28th, 2008 by Joe
Look at this incredible image zoom feature in the Apple Store:
It starts with the normal “thumbnail” (poor choice of word) view, and when you hover over it, your mouse turns to a Magnifying glass. When you click, the image expands and fills the entire “details” box. No popups or lightbox effects, just a filling of the viewable area.
Then it zooms way in with high definition resolution, letting you really see the product, and you can drag it around. A simple “close” in the top right returns the image back to it’s normal view, revealing the details again.
A very simple effect that is easy and fun to use, and shows off the product in an attractive way.
