I have used and loved this since it was a project from MIT CSAIL SIMILE (circa 2006).

Follow up: Looking over the old SIMILE site I couldn't find the original project. Also David Huynh didn't mention it in his own website, but some searching yielded the original project, "Parallax"

SIMILE library is used in OpenRefine for certain Faceting like timeline, clustering, etc. Parallax was originated by David to show how time series data visualizations could be enhanced. David was one of our original designers of OpenRefine and I worked closely with him and Stefano in testing it.
