Diorama timelines
by Bret Victor
A three-dimensional timeline of key events in a book, to be glanced at while reading in order to maintain context.
As opposed to a two-dimensional diagram, the diorama shows the entire first page of each work, while allowing them to be placed arbitrarily close together.
Hanging mobile timelines (2014) suspend this timeline directly above the reading area instead of off to the side.
