Ivan Sutherland is thought by many to be the creator of computer graphics. He wanted to make computers accessible for artists and draughtsmen.
His sketchpad was very important for the ideas that it introduced. It could be used to draw very precise drawings. It had a memory structure for storage and he used a lightpen, the predecessor of the mouse.
He later worked on integrated circuit design which helped lead to advanced chip design. Now he is working on advanced hardware technology.
