Many (many) years ago I was briefly involved in this: http://sydney.edu.au/arts/timemap/ http://sydney.edu.au/arts/timemap/ It was a larger scale, lower resolution version of this. The PoC demo was to demonstrate the borders of the Mongol empire over time. It was, as far as I can tell, a few years ahead of it's time in 1997(ish). It was also the first time I got to use a proper SGI workstation. Damn, those things could make every other computer you used feel like a Jalopy. EDIT: This has since been bundled into the "Heurist" project: http://heuristnetwork.org/ http://heuristnetwork.org/
