"Tapestry: A Dynamic, Interactive Timeline of Global Events"

Tapestry is an innovative online platform that visualizes the complex relationships between global news events, presenting them as a dynamic, interactive timeline. Users can navigate through a sprawling network of connected stories, exploring how different events influence and intersect with one another. This feature-rich timeline is organized by themes, such as politics, economics, and climate change, allowing users to easily find relevant information and understand the broader context of each story. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and natural language processing, Tapestry can automatically identify emerging trends and patterns, flagging them for users to explore further.

Tapestry is designed for a diverse audience of news enthusiasts, professionals, and academics, who want to stay informed about global developments but often struggle to understand the interconnectedness of events. By providing an immersive and intuitive experience, Tapestry enables users to develop a deeper understanding of the world’s complexities, fostering a more informed and engaged global citizenry. To test Tapestry’s potential, we plan to launch a pilot version on a small subset of topics, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. We will monitor user engagement, analyze feedback, and refine the platform based on these results before expanding its scope to cover a broader range of topics.
