Roadmap
Atlas is a long way from being feature complete and is constantly growing. Explore the roadmap to see what's coming up or jump in and contribute on GitHub. Below is the initial order of operations.
Phase 1
The components required to get Atlas into a production state, with IIIF and image support.
Grid builder
A new framework in development implementing the IIIF Presentation 3 specification only, upgrading Presentation 2 resources.
Popmotion
The reference implementation of the controller specification, using Popmotion to enable a smooth pan, zoom and navigation for an HTML based renderer.
Hyperion
A new framework in development implementing the IIIF Presentation 3 specification only, upgrading Presentation 2 resources.
Image service
A built in loader for image services, using a method for learning the format of image services, and predicting the properties of future requests, drastically reducing the number of service requests.
HTML5 canvas
The most common renderer for output a smooth and performance deep zoom experience.
Phase 2
The IIIF phase, getting all of the pieces needed to display a wide variety of IIIF.
Manifesto
Use what powers the Universal Viewer to import IIIF content into Atlas. Manifesto supports a large amount of IIIF content from all of the largest institutions.
Book builder
Use what poweres the Universal Viewer to import IIIF content into Atlas. Manifesto supports a large amount of IIIF content from all of the largest institutions.
Image loader
A built in loader for image services, using a method for learning the format of image services, and predicting the properties of future requests, drastically reducing the number of service requests.
Phase 3
The Frameworks
React renderer
A complete solution for using Atlas in React, a custom renderer exposing React components that can be composed together, passed a world and allows for declarative population of the world.
A-Frame renderer
Render your deep zoom experience on a 2D plane embedded in a 3D A-Frame world, allowing VR experiences to take advantage of Atlas.
VueJS renderer
A complete solution for using Atlas with Vue. A component based system with deep integration with the Vue framework.
A-Frame controller
Paired with the A-Frame renderer this allows a user to control Atlas from inside a 3D or VR world.
Flexbox builder
Powered by Facebook's Yoga library this builder allows you to use the full flex-box specification for laying out your items, using CSS-like properties to control the flow, direction and size of your items.
Future Phase
Everything else.
Mini-map Builder
A built in loader for image services, using a method for learning the format of image services, and predicting the properties of future requests, drastically reducing the number of service requests.
HTML image
A simple, static or interactive option using only HTML image tags. Perfect for server-side rendering options or layouts for pages.
Debug renderer
A renderer for development that shows all of the information under the hood. Great for debugging issues or just seeing how Atlas is understanding your content.
WebGL renderer
A complex, but fast option for rendering. With the added performance of WebGL and a variety of custom shaders to create a unique and visually stunning presentation of images.
Gamepad controller
Using the new browser GamePad APIs you can control your Atlas world using an XBox controller or other compatible game pad.
Keyboard controller
Focused on configuration, bind custom keyboard keys to perform various Atlas actions.
