Graphics), IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, and Visual Computer. The proceedings of the annual SIGGRAPH conference
include the latest techniques. These proceedings formerly were published as the summer issue of Computer Graphics. Now, they
are published as an issue of the ACM Transactions on Graphics and are available on DVD. Of particular interest to newcomers to the
field are the state-ofthe- art animations available from SIGGRAPH and the notes from tutorial courses taught at that conference,
both of which are now available on DVD or in ACM’s digital library. Sutherland’s doctoral dissertation, published as Sketchpad: A
Man–Machine Graphical Communication System [Sut63] was probably the seminal paper in the development of interactive
computer graphics. Sutherland was the first person to realize the power of the new paradigm in which humans interacted with
images on a CRT display. Videotape copies of film of his original work are still available.
