RTIWEBviewer

Link texts to images?

We don't have possibilities to do that.

 

At the moment, the RTIWebviewer doesn't have an API to build a description of a zone.

 

 

What do we want to do as a community?

 

RTI and IIIF?

Can IIIF image URL format be expanded in order to expose lighting direction, angles and all RTI details?
