Kahle, Roger R. – 1978
The Pagitron electronic composition system offers the potential to manipulate all elements of pagination as easily and as quickly as words are manipulated on computerized text-editing systems. The importance of such an all-encompassing pagination system is that it allows the editorial side of a newspaper or magazine total control over everything…

Stenger, Anthony J.; And Others – 1981
This study suggests and identifies computer image generation (CIG) algorithms for visual simulation that improve the training effectiveness of CIG simulators and identifies areas of basic research in visual perception that are significant for improving CIG technology. The first phase of the project entailed observing three existing CIG simulators.…

Stifle, Jack – 1971
A graphics terminal designed for use as a remote computer input/output terminal is described. Although the terminal is intended for use in teaching applications, it has several features which make it useful in many other computer terminal applications. These features include: a 10-inch square plasma display panel, permanent storage of information…

Gallenson, Louis – 1975
A recent needs study determined that most of the terminal requirements for military computer assisted instruction (CAI) applications can be satisfied with mainstream commercial terminals. Additional development, however, is likely to be required to satisfy two of the capabilities (limited graphics and prerecorded visuals). The expected…

Bork, Alfred M. – 1971
The effectiveness of different types of computer terminals in programing learning is discussed with special reference to the experience of the Physics Computer Development Project. Experience with ten types of terminals including hardcopy terminals of several speeds, alphanumeric and graphic terminals is reviewed. Special consideration is given to…

Foley, James D. – Scientific American, 1987
Discusses the coming generation of supercomputers that will have the power to make elaborate "artificial realities" that facilitate user-computer communication. Illustrates these technological advancements with examples of the use of head-mounted monitors which are connected to position and orientation sensors, and gloves that track finger and…

Marcovitz, Alan B., Ed. – 1977
Described is the use of an analog/hybrid computer installation to study those physical phenomena that can be described through the evaluation of an algebraic function of a complex variable. This is an alternative way to study such phenomena on an interactive graphics terminal. The typical problem used, involving complex variables, is that of…

Swallow, Ronald J. – 1974
The CHARGE computer terminal can provide graphics display for many applications in color, gray-level, 3-D, perspectives, and rapid updating. Perspective views can be generated from a three-dimensional coordinate system which changes to match actual physical descriptions. Image encoding and hardware design are described from a theoretical and…

Stifle, Jack; And Others – 1972
A low cost communications network has been designed for use in the PLATO IV computer-assisted instruction system. Over 1,000 remote computer graphic terminals each requiring a 1200 bps channel are to be connected to one centrally located computer. Digital data are distributed to these terminals using standard commercial cable television (CATV)…

Sherwood, Bruce Arne; Stifle, Jack – 1975
The PLATO IV computer-based educational system contains its own communications hardware and software for operating plasma-panel graphics terminals. Key echoing is performed by the central processing unit: every key pressed at a terminal passes through the entire system before anything appears on the terminal's screen. Each terminal is guaranteed…
