1. IVAN SUTHERLAND BRANDON GODDARD CSCE 221-200H APR 10, 2014

2. BACKGROUND Born May 16 th, 1938 in Hastings, Nebraska First computer experience was on SIMON in 1950. Senior Science Fair: designed a magnetic drum memory B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Institute of Technology (1959) M.S. in Electrical Engineering from California IT (1960) Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from MIT (1963) Worked under Claude Shannon Doctoral thesis: Sketchpad: the first GUI

3. SKETCHPAD: 1963 Computers in the 1960’s were not interactive, but ran batches of jobs Developed on the TX-2, which had a 9” CRT with 512 x 512 array of directly addressed pixels. No OS, just a macro assembler Had a pen to identify computer-drawn objects. Sketchpad: allowed user to use pen to draw on the display Pen provided coordinates, keyboard provided drawing commands Previous objects could be selected, rotated, scaled, and moved. Objects could be stored on magnetic tape and edited later. Introduced hierarchical drawings, non-procedural programming, and interactive GUI. “I didn’t know it was hard.”

4. WORK AFTER SKETCHPAD Accepted U.S. Army commission after graduating MIT Became head of Defense Advanced Research Project Agency’s (DARPA’s) Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) in 1964 Allocated money to sponsor research in timesharing and AI Associate Professor of EE at Harvard Created first Augmented Reality Display: Sword of Damocles-0 Professor of CS at University of Utah. Founded Evans & Sutherland with David C. Evans Real-time hardware, 3D computer graphics, and printer languages 1970’s – RAND Animated movies Professor of CS at Cal IT, founded the CS department Currently working at Asynchronous Research Center at Portland State University Founded with his wife Marly Roncken to develop asynchronous computers

5. AWARDS Member - National Academy of Engineering – 1973 Member - National Academy of Science – 1978 IEEE Emanual Emanuel R. Piore Award – 1986 ACM Turning Award – 1988 Contributions and innovations in computer graphics For his work on Sketchpad and after ACM Software System Award – 1993 IFF Pioneer Award – 1994 IEEE John von Neumann Medal -1998 Kyoto Prize – 2012
