RefGarden preview

RefGarden

A spatial reference gallery whose local app uses Jev to choose search phrases and highlight image metadata. The hosted preview retrieves references without Jev; inference behavior has not been independently reproduced.

How it uses Jev

In local Explore, Jev chooses bounded search phrases for enabled image/video collections, then selects metadata highlights from image titles and descriptions. Retrieval code calls The Met, NASA, Cosmos, and Internet Archive; Jev receives no image pixels, video frames, or audio. The hosted preview uses keyword retrieval without Jev.

INSTRUCTION

Choose the most useful search phrase for NASA imagery given this creator's brief and selected visual styles. Preserve the subject and prioritize a phrase that also expresses a selected style. Prefer a short specific phrase that this collection can match. Options include phrases extracted from the brief and authored examples; unrelated examples must not override the requested subject.

STATE

Creator brief: “Find visuals for a reel about solar eclipse photography and silver moon posters”. Collections: historical artwork, objects, prints and photographs (The Met); contemporary visual references and design (Cosmos); scientific space and Earth imagery (NASA).

App workflow

  1. Set the visual brief

    The user enters a prompt, selects image/video sources and optional styles, then starts Explore.

  2. Choose search phrases

    Local Jev selects from bounded prompt/style-derived phrases for the enabled collections; sample queries and documented fallback behavior can apply.

  3. Retrieve and filter references

    Collectors fetch metadata and media from the configured sources; code enforces source balance targets, eligibility, and duplicate filtering.

  4. Highlight and review

    Jev can select metadata highlights for image sources; cards arrive for inspection, source linking, saving, and JSON export. Video playback remains code-managed.

Why it is interesting

It lets a bounded decision layer steer multi-source visual discovery while keeping provenance attached to references and making the local Jev and hosted non-Jev behaviors explicit.
