about the virtual reality system the story of the sword of Damocles Damocles The Sword of Damocles ref HMD is widely considered to be the first virtual reality virtual reality VR and augmented reality augmented reality AR head mounted display head mounted display HMD system . It was created in 1968 by hall of fame computer scientist Ivan Sutherland with the help of his student Bob Sproull . Before he began working toward what he termed the ultimate display , ref Sutherland1 Ivan Sutherland was already well respected for his accomplishments in computer graphics see Sketchpad . At MIT s Lincoln Laboratory beginning in 1966, Sutherland and his colleagues performed what is widely believed to be the first experiments with head mounted displays of different kinds. Features The device was primitive both in terms of user interface and Realism arts realism , and the computer graphics graphics comprising the virtual environment were simple wire frame model wireframe rooms. Sutherland s system displayed output from a computer program in the binocular vision binocular display. The Perspective graphical perspective that the software showed the user would depend on the position of the user s gaze which is why head tracking was necessary. The weight of Sutherland s HMD, and the need to track the head movements necessitated the HMD being attached to a mechanical arm suspended from the ceiling of the lab. The formidable appearance of the mechanism inspired its name. While using The Sword of Damocles, a user had to have his or her head securely fastened into the device to perform the experiments. At this time, the various components being tested were not fully integrated with one another. ref Rheingold1 Development When Sutherland moved to the University of Utah in the late 1960s, work on integrating the various components into a single HMD system was begun. By the end of the decade, the first fully functional integrated HMD system was operational. The first display application was a ... more details

Infobox person name Lauren Elliott birth date birth date and age 1946 08 29 df y birth place Boston , Massachusetts birth name Lauren Roosevelt Elliott known for Creator of Carmen Sandiego nationality American Lauren Roosevelt Elliott born August 29, 1946 in Boston , Massachusetts is an American video game designer, internet entrepreneur, publisher and inventor. He is recognized as one of the pioneers in the Edutainment video game industry. Elliott s greatest success to date came as the original co designer for the Carmen Sandiego game series which remains the best selling Edutainment game in history. Biography He was born Lauren Roosevelt Elliott on August 29, 1946 in Boston , Massachusetts . He is the grandson of Hall Roosevelt , brother of Eleanor Roosevelt . Education After graduating from the Millbrook School for Boys, he attended Cornell University , transferring three years later to the University of Colorado in Boulder where he received his degree in architecture. Becoming interested in environmental design he then studied briefly at the University of Pennsylvania under Ian McHarg , followed by two years of graduate work in ecology at the University of California at Davis . Game Designer In 1983 he walked in to Broderbund Software in San Rafael with a sketchpad full of game designs and was hired on the provision that he could convince a programmer to take on one of his designs. Over the next 13 year period he authored and worked on more than 23 titles. He now has over 30 million copies of his work in circulation and is winner of over 50 awards in originality and lifetime sales categories. While at Broderbund Software he and Gene Portwood were Will Wright game designer Will Wright s project manager on his first video game Raid on Bungeling Bay Bay in 1984. In 1996 he left to form Elliott Portwood productions with his partner Gene Portwood. During the next 4 years, they produced titles for The Learning Company , Maxis Software , Virgin Software , and The Softw ... more details
Infobox Software name D Cubed Components developer Siemens PLM Software genre Computer aided technologies CAD CAM CAE released 1990 operating system Microsoft Windows Windows , Unix , Mac OS X , Linux license Proprietary software website http www.plm.automation.siemens.com en us products open d cubed index.shtml D Cubed homepage D Cubed Components are a collection of geometric software component libraries developed and licensed as commercial products by Siemens PLM Software . Since the early 1990s these components have been used to support the development of Computer Aided Design CAD , Computer Aided Manufacturing CAM and Computer Aided Engineering CAE applications, including NX and Solid Edge from Siemens PLM Software. History The D Cubed Components were originally written by D Cubed Limited, a privately held company founded in 1989 in Cambridge, England, by John Owen. The early development of the company was built on the licensing of the D Cubed 2D Dimensional Constraint Manager 2D DCM geometric constraint solving component to a number of CAD vendors for integration into their own CAD applications. The D Cubed 2D DCM was inspired by the revolutionary work of Ivan Sutherland on Sketchpad in the 1960s. The D Cubed 2D DCM was the first of the six D Cubed Components D Cubed Components to be released. D Cubed Limited was acquired by UGS Corp. on June 30, 2004, which in turn was acquired by Siemens AG on May 7, 2007, becoming known as Siemens PLM Software on October 1, 2007. John Owen and his academic collaborators have published some details about the mathematical considerations behind the D Cubed 2D DCM and 3D DCM, which has led to work in fields beyond geometric constraint solving.

Allan Urho Paivio b. March 29, 1925 is an Professor emeritus emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Western Ontario . He earned his Ph.D. from McGill University in 1959 and taught at the University of Western Ontario from 1963 until his retirement. ref Lumley, E. 2005 . Canadian Who s Who. University of Toronto Press. ref Early life The son of Aku and Ida Hanninen , Paivio was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In 1948, he won the title of Mr. Canada in a competition established by the International Federation of BodyBuilders . ref Saarinen, O. W 1999 . Between a rock and a hard place A historical geography of the Finns in the Sudbury area. Wilfrid Laurier University Press. ref Academic career Paivio has published approximately two hundred articles and is most known for his dual coding theory . Dual coding theory posits that visual and verbal information are stored separately in long term memory. Dual coding theory is complemented by the theory of Alan Baddeley , in which working memory is divided into a visuospatial sketchpad and a phonological loop . Paivio s work has implications in many areas including human factors , interface design, as well as the development of educational materials. Allan Paivio earned three degrees from McGill University between 1949 and 1959. Paivio has a Ph.D. in Psychology, and has spent over forty years in research on imagery, memory, language, cognition, and other areas. He has published approximately two hundred articles and book chapters, and five books. His last book, Imagery and Text A Dual Coding Theory of Reading and Writing, he wrote with Mark Sadoski. Dual coding theory The dual coding theory DCT , according to Paivio, suggests that visual and verbal information act as two distinctive systems. It has had its roots in the practical use of imagery as a memory aid 2500 years ago For example, one can think of a car by thinking of the word car , or by forming a mental image of a car. The verbal and image systems are corre ... more details
