VISTA

VISTA provides an open standard of prompts intended for AI image generation. It aims to create consistency, organization, and interoperability in the construction of visual scenes, facilitating the creation, sharing, and reuse of prompts.

The objective is to enable creators and developers to use a common and structured language to describe scenes. This ensures that different image generation engines can interpret and reproduce the creator's intentions more faithfully.
