The problem
History education online is either a wall of text or a gamified toy. Doing it properly means dates that survive scrutiny, a tone that does not take sides, and typography that treats Arabic and Urdu as first-class rather than an afterthought.
What we built
- 01
Built three viewing modes over one dataset — an interactive globe, a flowing timeline ribbon and cinematic era scenes with synchronised narration and captions.
- 02
Localised into nine languages with correct per-script typography and genuine right-to-left layout, not a mirrored stylesheet.
- 03
Pre-generated multilingual narration with browser speech synthesis as a fallback, so audio works offline and off-budget.
- 04
Ran a multi-pass verification over dates, names, coordinates and neutrality of framing, recording sources per event.
- 05
Held the visual language to geometric and astronomical motifs, and shipped keyboard navigation, captions, reduced-motion and high-contrast paths.
