Ivan Edward Sutherland (born May 16, 1938)

National Academy of Sciences among many other major awards. In 2012, he was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology for "pioneering achievements in the development of computer graphics and interactive interfaces".[8][9]

Early life and education

Sutherland's father was from New Zealand; his mother, Anne Sutherland, was from Scotland. His family moved to

Electrical Engineering in 1963.[11][2]

Sutherland invented

Lincoln TX-2
computer.

Career and research

From 1963 to 1965, after he received his PhD, he served in the U.S. Army, commissioning as an officer through the ROTC program at Carnegie Institute of Technology. As a first lieutenant, Sutherland replaced J. C. R. Licklider as the head of the US Defense Department Advanced Research Project Agency's Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO), when Licklider took a job at IBM in 1964.[12][13][14]

From 1965 to 1968, Sutherland was an associate professor of electrical engineering at

head-mounted display
to play back static video and other sensory stimuli. The optical see-through head-mounted display used in Sutherland's VR system was a stock item used by U.S. military helicopter pilots to view video from cameras mounted on the helicopter's belly.

From 1968 to 1974, Sutherland was a professor at the

Walt Disney
and Pixar Animation Studios.

In 1968 he co-founded

printer
languages. Former employees of Evans & Sutherland included the future founders of
Adobe (John Warnock) and Silicon Graphics (Jim Clark
).

From 1974 to 1978 he was the Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science at California Institute of Technology, where he was the founding head of that school's computer science department. He then founded a consulting firm, Sutherland, Sproull and Associates, which was purchased in 1990 by Sun Microsystems to form the seed of its research division, Sun Labs.[17][18]

Sutherland was a fellow and vice president at

Asynchronous Systems at Portland State University.[19][11]

Awards and honors

1973 "for creative contributions in computer science and computer graphics, particularly in the study of the interfaces between men and machines"[30]
