GIF at a glance
GIF
CompuServe introduced GIF in the late 1980s, and the later GIF89a revision added capabilities such as transparency and simple animation that made the format much more versatile on the early web.
JPS at a glance
JPS
JPS belongs to the period when consumer 3D displays, cameras, and media players experimented with stereo-photo conventions built on ordinary JPEG assets instead of inventing entirely new everyday imaging stacks.
