[SIGCIS-Members] CHM Blog: A Milestone in Computer Graphics

[Dag Spicer]

Hi everyone,

Please enjoy this latest Computer History Museum blog on the first time digital images were displayed in their native electronic form. This 1981 public demonstration of digital art centered on the ‘frame buffer,’ a critical piece of tech that made computer graphics possible.

By anthropologist and author Catharina E. Santasilia.
