Today's Webtip: Ancient Graphics

A look back at the cutting edge of computer graphics in 1968

Did you know Hitchcock's Vertigo was the first film to feature computer generated graphics?

I didn't. The man responsible for that was John Whitney. A visionary in the field of computer graphics, he had a chance to work with some really frikkin big computers.

In 1968 he produced an educational video for IBM. It's a fascinating look back into the people and work that was contributing to the future we now live in.
