Now, I’m trying to think about my topic for senior project. I have an idea about create 3D model which can look around that object and I can zoom it using deep zoom. However, I try to find an information and never see about these concepts together. From these result, I may create 3D model of earth and zoom inside it until I found my country. Is that possible to combine these ?
Best Regards,

What you appear to be asking is if you can use the DeepZoom control as a “dynamic texture” to feed the Viewport3D (representing a round earth). This is an interesting thought, but I dont think that will work.
The Viewport3D will tell the deepzoom control to render at a uniform resolution everywhere, and then uses the resulting texture. If you zoom in on Europe, for instance, the deepzoom control will be asked to paint Australia as well, at the same resolution, even though they are on the other side of the earth. In theory the viewport3D could compute the enclosing box of all visible graphic elements, but in the typical scenarios for Viewport3D this will not improve performance in a noticable way, so I doubt they do this. It’s not exactly trivial either.
What you can do, is switch over from 3D to 2D at some level of resolution. So you first spin around the earth in 3D (you should be able to do this in WPF), and allow users to zoom in, and when you’ve zoomed in to “country level”, you switch to a deepzoom control that allows you to zoom to street level.
