History Section Timeline




For the history section I am going to create an interactive timeline. To navigate through time you simply roll over mouse over the time "wheel" on the left. As you move through this wheel the text box and the image box will move forward and backwards in space—corresponding to your position on the time "wheel". 

Each spot in time will have a head-line, which is simply the date, and a large pull-quote placed below the boxes, so that people can quickly get the point without having to read everything. 

The text box and image box are set up in separate boxes to correspond with the "cross-view" method of viewing images stereoscopically. There will be a button to the right of the image to turn the image into a stereoscopic cross-viewable image, in which case the receding boxes fade away along with the text in the left box, and a stereographic image appears. 

There is also a "learn how" button. When pressed directions on how to view the image in 3D animate in. 

I see some of these dates having corresponding videos that will live in the right hand square, and if I can figure out how to do it—they will be able to be seen in 3D also!
