It is a shame that Carl Manchover never wrote a book on the history of computer graphics. His papers at CBI would be of use to you.
The topic of “Computer Graphics” is VERY big, and goes back to the first computers using Williams/Kilburn tubes. By “Computer Generated
Imagery” do you mean synthetic images created for display on a raster-scanned monitor?

Hi,
Peter Meyers kindly pointed out that CGI could be any number of things, so I will clarify: I’m looking for Computer Graphics / Computer Generated Imagery. Specifically, I’m hoping to find some people who know this history from its inception; or some very interested fans who might be willing to read portions of a manuscript on the subject.
