What is available now—and what comes later?

These are functional early browser tools with a limited scope. SphereFoundry includes guided stitching of JPEG/PNG photos with supplied lens geometry, control-point alignment, multi-scene tours, ordered presentations with saved views and manually placed animated overlay planes. AURORA Framework adds editable skin components, tour menus and responsive layouts with reusable actions. Its Style Atelier customizes typography, gradients, translucent backgrounds, spacing, borders, shadows, icons, interaction states and phone appearance. Portable styles apply to a component without replacing its actions or layout. MotionLoom animates text, shapes, drawn vector objects, supported SVG geometry and JPEG/PNG images using keyframes and reusable motion presets. Import supported layered SVG/PSD artwork, trace interaction regions, and resize keyed elements with touch handles. Action suites help assemble reusable command sequences. Its transparent overlay packages add bounded click commands and optional visitor movement to SphereFoundry tours. FinishLine prepares multi-size image packs with per-image and per-size focus, live crop previews, an optional no-upscale policy and proof sheets. Automatic feature matching, verified camera/lens calibration profiles, RAW/HDR processing, advanced multimedia/VR tours, video/audio animation production, shape morphing, cloud accounts, shared review and paid subscriptions are not available yet. They require separately tested releases.

Desktop browsers provide the most room to create. Mobile controls are provided where practical; large images and exports depend on available browser memory. A responsive layout is not a guarantee of identical performance on every phone.

What happens to my files and feedback?

Chosen files are processed in this browser. This release does not upload media, create an account, collect payments or provide cloud backups. Closing or refreshing the tab can discard unsaved work. Saved projects may contain your images; store and share them accordingly.

Feedback is prepared locally. Copy or download it, then choose whether to send it to James. Normal website hosting access logs may still record page requests.

Who owns the work I bring into the lab?

You retain your rights to the images and other material you provide, and to your own creative work. Use material you are entitled to process and share. Original application code, design and documentation are created for James Maxwell / The 4 Corners In 360, to the extent protectable. Third-party rights and required notices remain with their respective owners.
