The origins of the Visualisers remain unknown. One ended up in the [[Space Museum]] of the [[Morok Empire]] and was given to the [[First Doctor]] by [[Tor (The Space Museum)|Tor]] as a souvenir after helping to defeat the [[Morok]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Space Museum (TV story)|The Space Museum]]'')

After getting the Visualiser working, the Doctor and his companions used it to observe [[Queen]] [[Elizabeth I]] and [[Francis Bacon]] meeting with [[William Shakespeare]], [[Abraham Lincoln]] delivering his [[Gettysburg Address]] and [[the Beatles]] performing "[[Ticket to Ride]]". The Visualiser later showed them the [[Dalek]]s launching their [[Dalek time machine|time machine]] on a mission to exterminate them, which let them buy some time.

The Visualiser could "tune in" to events all over the [[universe]] in many time eras. The [[First Doctor]] said that the Visualiser converted "[[neutron]]s of [[light]] energy into electrical impulses" and that it could only show events in the past. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'') However, [[Faction Paradox]] used a Time-Space Visualiser (presumably a different model) to forecast [[Fitz Kreiner]]'s future, showing him an image of himself as [[Father Kreiner]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'') [[Izzy Sinclair]] used the Time-Space Visualiser to play various [[video game]]s, such as ''[[Happy Deathday]]'', which involved the Eighth Doctor and his past incarnations. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Happy Deathday (comic story)|Happy Deathday]]'')
