The precursor sciences to the development of modern computer graphics were the advances in electrical engineering, electronics, and television that took place during the first half of the twentieth century.
Jul 12, 2022 · 1963: Ivan Sutherland, a pioneer of human-computer interaction (making computers intuitively easy for humans to use), develops Sketchpad (also called Robot Draftsman), one of the first computer-aided design packages, in which images can be drawn on the screen using a lightpen (an electronic pen/stylus wired into the computer). Later, Sutherland ...
Silicon Graphics (SGI) workstations that supported real-time raster line drawing and later polygons became the computer graphicists desired. The data glove, a precursor to virtual reality, was invented at NASA. VLSI for special purpose graphics processors and parallel processing became hot research areas. The Early '90's
1968: Intel is founded. 1968: Arthur Appel at IBM introduces ray-casting, a pre-cursor to ray-tracing which combines a hidden-surface and shadow algorithm. 1969: Initiated by Sam Matsa and Andy vanDam, ACM creates a special interest group on graphics, SIGGRAPH.
Mar 11, 2024 · In the 1960s early computer graphics systems used vector graphics to construct images out of straight line segments, which were combined for display on specialized computer video monitors. Vector graphics is economical in its use of memory, as an entire line segment is specified simply by the coordinates of its endpoints.
