The History of Science and Technology domain studies and describes the evolutions of human technical activities. Historians use new technologies such as Virtual Reality to reconstruct and expose the results of their research. In order to observe the evolutions of the studied systems inside a Virtual Environment, the user must be able to navigate through time. We propose a model of time based on two scales and to use tangible interactions to navigate on these two timescales.
