Kay says: "I once asked Ivan Sutherland: 'How could you possibly have done the first interactive graphics program, the first nonprocedural programming language, the first object oriented software system, all in one year? He said, 'Well, I didn't know it was hard.'"įor more 60's video on Sketchpad, check out this movie and its second part. Sketchpad: A man-machine graphical communication system (Technical report - Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Head-mounted Display (aka The Sword of Damocles) worn by Donald L. This is some nerdy, but important, computer history. A demonstration of software Ivan Sutherland developed in his 1963 thesis at MITs Lincoln Labs, 'Sketchpad, A Man-Machine Graphical Communication System', de. In the video below, computer pioneer Alan Kay discusses a famous video of Sutherland's Sketchpad demo.
(By comparison, the laptop I'm typing on now has 15,420 times as much memory, but no light pen.) È considerato pioniere nel campo dellinterazione uomo-macchina (HCI). Ivan Sutherland on MIT Lincoln Labs’ TX-2 computer. His ancestry is from Scotland and New Zealand, despite his claim that he was named for his mother’s fictitious Russian lover. In January, 1963, Ivan Sutherland, a PhD candidate at MIT, submitted his thesis, titled Sketchpad: A Man-Machine Graphical Communication System, describing his work in creating what is now recognized as one of the very first interactive computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Ivan Edward Sutherland was born in Hastings, Nebraska, United States. Sketchpad basically invented a category of software - Computer Aided Drafting, or CAD - and it all ran on a 1958 computer with roughly 272k of memory. Sketchpad fu un rivoluzionario programma per computer scritto da Ivan Sutherland nel 1963 come tesi per il suo dottorato, questo lavoro gli valse il conseguimento del prestigioso Premio Turing nel 1988, e del Premio Kyto nel 2012. For his pioneering and visionary contributions to computer graphics, starting with Sketchpad, and continuing after. But that's what Sutherland did - Sketchpad was an interactive drawing program in which the user drew with a light-pen while pressing switches alongside the screen. These were the days of punch-card programming, which meant that making a complex interactive program was extremely challenging - particularly if it needed to use an interactive Graphical User Interface, which was unheard of at the time. Ivan Sutherland created a computer program called Sketchpad in the early 1960's as his PhD thesis.
