Abstract
When presenting information to a user via a display, an animated timeline (18) is provided on which a user selects a tick mark (74, 92) representing a time on the timeline (18), to view data collected at that time. A time window (72) of a predetermined width (e.g., an hour) is centered on the selected tick mark (74, 92), and the timeline (18) is then animated as it shifts the selected tick mark (74, 92) to the center of the timeline (18). Data (e.g., images, measured parameters, etc.) corresponding to the time window is identified (e.g., via timestamp information) and presented to the user on a display along with the timeline (18).
