1. Examples

As you look at an example, consider these questions:

  • What draws you into the timeline? What drives you away?
  • Can you navigate through the timeline?
  • Date structure: how exact are the dates (year, month, day, time)?
  • Number of images: are there multiple images for each time marker?
  • Are their thumbnails for images in the time markers?
  • How is crowding/overlapping handled? Can you zoom in and out?
