Douglas Engelbart : The Mother of All Demos (1/9)


On December 9, 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. The public presentation was a session in the of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held at the Convention Center in San Francisco, and it was attended by about 1000 computer professionals. This was the public debut of the computer mouse. But the mouse was only one of many innovations demonstrated that day, including hypertext, object addressing and dynamic file linking, as well as shared-screen collaboration involving two persons at different sites communicating over a network with audio and video interface.

Doug Engelbart Tribute Video


As part of the NMC Fellows Award presented to Doug Engelbart at the 2009 NMC Summer Conference, we unveiled this tribute video to honor the visionary and innovative ideas of a life time of work in the field of New Media. In addition to clips from the historic 1968 Mother of All Demos, the video features interviews conducted with Doug in 2002 where he outlines his ideas for augmenting the human intellect and how organizations can operate in a pattern of collective intelligence.

On December 9, 1968, Dr. Douglas C. Engelbart and the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at Stanford Research Institute staged a 90-minute public multimedia demonstration at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco. It was the world debut of personal and interactive computing: for the first time, the public saw a computer mouse, which controlled a networked computer system to demonstrate hypertext linking, real-time text editing, multiple windows with flexible view control, cathode display tubes, and shared-screen teleconferencing. The 1968 demo presaged many of the technologies we use today, from personal computing to social networking.

Douglas C. Engelbart, Winner 1997 Lemelson-MIT Prize


At what later became known as "the Mother of All Demos," Douglas Engelbart in 1968 publicly demonstrated the computer mouse, hypermedia and shared screen teleconferencing for the first time. His presentation at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco received a standing ovation from 2000 astonished computer professionals who had never before seen a mouse-controlled cursor manipulate text. In fact, they had never before seen a text-only display, such as Engelbart had projected onto a large screen from a primitive mainframe computer located 25 miles away! His demonstration predated the first personal computer as well as word processing software. In 1997, he was awarded the $500000 Lemelson-MIT Prize.

Doug Engelbart's Chord Keyboard as a Touch Screen Interface


A chorded keyboard works by using combinations of finger presses to signal a keypress (for example, pressing both the first and second finger down simultaneously might send an "A", while pressing the first and third finger down might send a "B"). With 5 fingers, there are 32 possible binary combinations. Leaving out the rest state (all off), and a drag state (all on), we have 30 useful mappings. With 26 letters, that leaves just a few for high level text commands (space, delete, and enter). Here's what makes this little keyboard so exciting: - One handed use. - Bring it up anywhere by putting down all 5 fingers. - large hit area per key (since there are only 5 keys to press) allows for blind/touch-typing operation. - Contextual feedback to make learning easier (possible letters are shown at each level). - Drag anywhere by pressing all 5 fingers down and moving your hand. - Cancel a mid-phase chorded keypress by pressing all 5 fingers. - Issuing keypress on touch-up allows users to type at any speed.
