Time line ideas for my interactive piece

This one is taken from the multi media museum and is based on games design and how everything has changed and what predecessors there were. What I especially like about this timeline is the scrolling effect when you roll the mouse over to one side of the timeline, although it does lack a thumbnail for quickly jumping to certain eras like with the bbc website which is located below this link.

Idea for my animation

The style I want to use for my animation is what they used in the film fight club, this is a scene from his condo where all the things he had brought from the IKEA catalog are just appearing and furnishing his apartment.

Cool idea on making a games console

This is a link to a guys work on Behance, its a really groovy idea which looks visually amazing i reckon, just shows another perspective of graphics in games as in how the consoles themselves feel and look.
