 Biography of Ivan Sutherland
Ivan Sutherland is considered by many to be the creator of Computer Graphics.
Sutherland was one of the few high school students to have ever written a computer program in that era.
Sutherland's first big computer program was to make SIMON divide.

 Multimedia – From Wagner to Virtual Reality
Sutherland predicted that advances in computer science would eventually make it possible to engineer virtual experiences that were convincing to the senses.
Ivan Sutherland, while conducting his initial research in immersive technologies, Sutherland wrote The Ultimate Display in 1965 in which he made the first advance toward marrying the computer to the design, construction, navigation and habitation of virtual worlds.
Although it was several years before the invention of the personal computer, in 1970, Sutherland took a crucial step towards the implementation of his vision by creating the head-mounted display – a helmet shaped apparatus designed to immerse the viewer in a visually simulated 3D environment.

 School of Information Science - Hall of Fame
Ivan Sutherland is considered by many to be the father of computer graphics.
Sutherland's work in computer graphics began with his Ph.D. thesis, "SketchPad," the first graphical user interface, which he developed for the arcane TX-2 computer.
After receiving his doctoral degree, Sutherland spent time at the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Defense Department's Advanced Research Project's Agency (ARPA), where he commissioned computing projects in concepts such as time-sharing and artificial intelligence.

Sutherland discusses the future possibilities with a computer display, that a person can use all their senses to interact with a computer.
According to Sutherland, expanding the types of VR input system and technologies, the ultimate goal is to fully operate our body and senses as input devices in the VR system, there, the human-computer interface will soon be realizable.
Sutherland leaves the inspiring idea of complete sensory interaction with anything user can imagine with a computer.

Sutherland thought that one should be able to draw on the computer.
A visual thinker from the start, Sutherland is best recognized for his 1963 Ph.D. thesis at MIT, “Sketchpad: A Man-machine Graphical Communications System,” which resulted in a software program that became one of the first tools used to ‘draw’ on a computer.
With his Ph.D. under his arm, Sutherland was commissioned a lieutenant and joined the National Security Agency before being transferred to the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) where he managed a variety of research projects in computing such as timesharing and artificial intelligence.

 EFF: Third Annual EFF Pioneer Awards
Ivan Sutherland is the father of computer graphics.
Author in the 1960s of the first graphics program for computers, Sketchpad, Sutherland is the person chiefly responsible for the recognition that computers can be more than advanced calculating machines--that instead they could be used as a medium for expression and design, an extension of the creative power of the human mind.
He was the graphics-toolbox developer for Apple's Lisa computers, for which he wrote the basic Quickdraw graphics routines at the heart of the Macintosh.

Sutherland said that we don't know if a 100-million transistor asynchronous computing chip would work, because no one has built one.
Perhaps the worst news for designers, Sutherland said, is that every communication path must meet the requirements of the external clock-making it difficult to focus on the 10 percent of paths that do 90 percent of the work.
The crux of an asynchronous design methodology, Sutherland said, is to "focus on sequence rather than time." One promising approach is "source clocking," which sends timing signals to a given destination along with data, and also accepts acknowledgement signals coming back.

 Ivan E. Sutherland
Ivan is also credited for pioneering work with head-mounted displays, and with Bob Sproull he turned work on the "Remote Reality" vision systems of the Bell Helicopter project into Virtual Reality by simulating the camera's images with a computer.
To anyone working in computer graphics today, the name of Ivan Sutherland evokes responses such as "pioneer", "sketchpad", and "one of the founders" of computer graphics itself.
After his thesis, Ivan left MIT for the NSA, Harvard, the University of Utah, and the California Institute of Technology (CIT).

Sutherland's Ph.D. thesis program, Sketchpad, showed in 1962 that a person could interact with a computer by drawing on the display surface with a lightpen.
Currently he is working a project aimed at designing and demonstrating computers based on asynchronous processor architecture.
Late, his group developed the first algorithms to remove "hidden lines" in drawings of 3D objects, a technique essential to any sort of realistic rendering.

Using a series of demo films and several pieces of live software to illustrate his points, Kay made a convincing argument that there haven't been any major innovations in interface design or programming for the last 20 years.
