    History of Interactive Computer Graphics (ICG)


    1950s, apply ICG to industry
    1960-1980, ICG is a tool in industrial and educational settings and in research laboratories.
    1962, Ivan Sutherland demonstrated the use of computer in creating and modifying drawings
    interactively.
    Mid-1970, improve productivity in industrial, government and academia.
    1980-1990, expand CAD/CAE/CAM systems into engineering applications.
