  • The Exhibit project, is described on its web page as a "Publishing Framework for Large-Scale Data-Rich Interactive Web Pages."
  • Runway is a Flash based tool allowing designers to "display images in a rich interactive visualization similar to that of Apple iTunes known as Cover Flow."

As of second quarter of 2012, Exhibit is the only Simile widget seeing active development. Demonstration projects are available for the widgets at the umbrella web site, http://www.simile-widgets.org/.
