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.

FITS at a glance

FITS

FITS became a durable scientific standard because observatories, spacecraft, and analysis tools needed a stable interchange format that outlived individual instruments and software stacks.
