Researchers wanted a powerful, visual and highly interactive tool that would enable students, teachers and the general public to explore the history of human drug and alcohol usage. This feature-rich, entirely custom timeline was the solution, providing an easy to use window into the more than 10,000 years from the first Natufian beer makers up to the present day.
D3.js Visualization
The timeline was custom-built using D3.js, a premier JavaScript library for custom visualizations. Panning, scaling, filtering and other advanced features make navigating easy and powerful.
Going Deeper
Supplemental content, including descriptive text, multimedia and links to external resources, allow users to explore the content in depth.
