I am pleased to announce the first public opening of the Computer
Graphics History Museum in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. The
collection of artifacts has moved to a location large enough to permit
public viewing. The collection has been accumulated over the past 5
years, with a focus on graphics hardware.
Please join us for an opening reception and walk through of the
collection in visible storage. Refreshments will be served.
Some highlights of the collection:
- a wide range of SGI workstations and servers from the
Personal Iris 4D/25 through a 4 rack SGI Reality Monster
- Tektronix graphics terminals from storage scope terminals like the
4010 and 4014 to raster terminals like the 4105 and 4205.
- Evans & Sutherland products:
ESV workstations with CDRS 6.0 and Advanced Rendering System,
Freedom series graphics accelerators
Digistar II
Picture System PS/390
ESIG image generator
