Virtual Reality Headset Prototype, Ivan Sutherland, c. 1968
“Ivan Sutherland and his research group experimented with the prevention of three-dimensional data using a binocular display system. The head-mounted display contained two small cathode ray tubes, one for each eye. It generated rudimentary, monoscopic wire-frame images that changed as a mechanical device determined where the user was looking. The completed version included several hardware accelerators that generated higher-quality stereoscopic images.”

These shelves hold numerous models of early personal computers from various manufacturers. The development of these single-user systems was made possible by the invention of the microprocessor. These machines marked a significant departure from the established standards of the computer industry. Most connected to displays and mice, which highlighted the importance of software development.
These personal computers were also significant because computers were finally a part of the consumer market, whereas previously they had been limited to government and industrial applications. This consumer validation of the technology opened it up for use as a tool for entertainment and for artistic expression.
Dr. Helen Ligon poses with her long-time "co-worker," the IBM 1620 Data Processing System, which was Baylor University's first computer. It was part of the Hankamer School of Business, and located in the Casey Computer Lab, named in honor of the machine's donor, Carl Casey. This IBM was used by the institution from 1962-1974. Its replacement was an IBM Systems 3 Computer.

Taken around 1990 with a Vivitar PS:20 using Ektachrome 100 slide film. Scanned on a Canon MP990 using auto scan (1200 dpi). No edits other than flipping. The scan software is silly. It does not have you place the emulsion side toward the glass. It also crashes a lot in manual mode.
The Apple II is arguably one of the most popular computer models ever created. The Minnesota Education Computer Consortium purchased 500 Apple IIs almost immediately, and through the "Kids Can't Wait Program" Apple donated thousands of computers to schools, increasing the educational popularity of the brand.

Computer Space, Nutting Associates Inc., 1971.
“In 1971, Nolan Bushnell developed a commercial version of the classic video game, Space War!, originally developed on the PDP-1 in 1962. Bushnell called his invention Computer Space and it became the first commercial arcade video game. Computer Space pitted solo players against alien spaceships or two competing players against each other. Although Computer Space did not sell well, it was noted for both its game design and futuristic cabinet. Bushnell later founded Atari Computer Corporation.”

This is the engineering prototype of the first product to use a microprocessor. Designed and produced by Busicom of Japan, this five-function printing calculator used Intel’s MCS 4 chip set (a 4004 CPU, five 4001 ROMs, two 4002 RAMs, and four 4003 shift registers). It was a gift from Mr. Kojima, the CEO of Busicom, to Mr. Faggin in recognition of his leadership in the development of the microprocessor.
