Timeline: Engineering the real cyborgs

How do I use this timeline?

The easiest way to journey through the history of how engineering has helped certain disabilities is to click the arrow on the right hand side (or swipe right on a tablet), which will take you through all the entries.

You can also investigate various thems such as: 'Heart' or 'Eyes' by selecting the 'Open filters' button on the top right hand side. This will allow you to filter content and only see one theme.

You can also drag and explore via the grey timeline section at the bottom, although this is in beta at the moment and may have a few hiccups!
