It's not real-time from flickr, they just acquired all of the photos from flickr. Their system had process these images to find the similarities, arrange them spatially, then they're all subsequently compressed to the JPEG 2000 (.jp2) format for easy viewing. The enabling technology here is JPEG 2000, where very small bits of information read from the beginning of the file will provide correct color representation of the entire image. If you demand more definition, just load more of the file. Check out DeepFish... Microsoft Labs has developed a Windows Mobile browser that does just this for desktop pages rendered on a Mobile device. Found this today after wondering what Microsoft had done since acquiring seadragon--as I haven't yet seen any live, public applications! It looks like the iPhone has its own derivative of this too...

I know there is some kind of image pyramid hierarchy going on, but I'm at a loss as to what else could be powering it.
