Spacetime Visualization Timeline
a chronological bibliography compiled in 2002 and updated in 2006
by don v black, IEEE Senior Member and UCI EE&CS Doctoral Candidate, dblack(at)uci-dot-edu

This information was compiled in 2002 to examine the chronological progression of Special Relativistic Visualization. It was presumed that a count of the number of papers published in a year would give an indication of the amount of activity in the field during that same interval. Certain other documents relating to Spacetime and General Relativity were added later to be used in subsequent research, and these are included for completeness in this bibliography. The Int and Fd columns are described below in the box labeled "Columns legend".
