The Millennium Project – Lisa Strausfeld, Pentagram Design

The Millennium Project is a three-dimensional timeline that

uses one direction as a timescale and the remaining two for

geographical data. The location of the information within

its three-dimensional system environment tells users what

happened where in the world and at what time in history.

It also reveals other events that occurred at around the same

time, so the user can virtually travel through time and space

and access text and image-based information in accordance

with the three-dimensional coordinates of the journey.
