History of 3D Mouse

Groundbreaking developments tend to begin long before there is a genuine need for them in the marketplace, and innovations are triggered by people who have one thing in common – an idea! But oftentimes, years pass between concept and product. From idea to genuine product Computer graphics originated in the 1950s, when the Whirlwind computer was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), along with a light pen input source which worked directly with a CRT monitor. The first Computer Aided Design (CAD) application using the light pen dates back to 1963 when Ivan E. Sutherland laid the foundation with his doctoral thesis “Sketchpad: A man-machine graphical communication system.”
