On first glimpse the graphics capabilities look like Amiga 1000 (or the "I Robot" Atari arcade game from 1983), but the CAD part shows that it had a z-buffer, which remained unusual until much later. (E.g. "Hard Drivin" or "Ridge Racer" and even the 1st PlayStation had none.)
The original intent was actually to do games. The idea was to build 2 machines (which they did) and have them communicate with each other via phone lines (this was AT&T Bell Labs...so they like phones). We did do one multiuser game with some starwars demo as I recall.
The Animation Processor computers, does the hardware still exist? There has been debate whether this is the first implementation of flat filled vector graphics using the so called EOR method or realtime filled vectors altogether?
Ahead of it's time! The "rubics cube" and "industrial robot" demos look nearly identical to demos for mid to late 80's SGI workstations. Did people from this project end up at SGI?
Funny you should say that...one of the summer student's was Marc Hannah (a Stanford PhD) whom I remember. He went on to be one of the founders of SGI... pretty sure they got the Rubic's cube idea from me ..(but it was quite the rage back then) I remember seeing it at the first SIGGRAPH where SGI had a hotel suite and wasn't on the floor..I was thrilled to see it..twas a cool demo ;-)
This is awesome. Incredible for its date. Whenever I see old demos like this one I can't help but think things were going in a different, better, direction then. Then it's as if somebody in the late 1980s put a stop to it. What happened? Can anybody explain what went wrong? What's the awesome digital music playing at the 8:00 minute mark? It doesn't seem to be any of the songs credited. What more can you tell us of the system used? The hardware and software?
Nothing went wrong real time computer graphics was/is supported by game industry. Music at 8:00 I think is from Don Slepian and old computer music pioneer: donslepian.com/ The hardware/software of the system was custom graphics hardware probably similar in design to what wound up in silicon on SGI (this was shortly before SGI). The custom graphics hardware was on harware cards plugged into the bus of PDP 11/23 running UNIX (I think System V). My boss wrote a graphic language using yacc/lex and I would generally program it with that language and C. Was a great job!

Thank you for this
muchas gracias, esto forma parte de la historia :D

full version of the music at 1:32?
Nice sampler! I really like the Claude Bolling music at the end...
Anyone who uses SolidWorks has their jaw drop when they see the joystick controlling an object in 3d space
What the hell are you talking about?
No clue what those original animations are doing, but I do know that this is freaking cool
Great stuff! From 4:37... Mesmerizing....
Those guys might open a portal to the back rooms if they're not careful.
i dont get it
@@tandy5811probably a reference to those portal games from Valve
@@ThommyofThenn 📝noted
I thought it was referencing that creepypasta
@@donnaken15 very possible. Every one is into that SCP stuff now
How did Disney not sue them yet?
full version of the music at 1:23? i'd love to know where i can hear it in full!
Wish they could have made a game with this tech.

wondering where they got the sci-fi medley from

Odd they are showing this on a click-stop tuning TV set, rather than a more professional looking video monitor.
Was there a different CRT type hacked into that TV case?

Wow. Great stuff. Is this the only footage surviving of these animations?
There is a little more at: vimeo.com/album/45282
did I read somewhere one of these gentlemen had passed away?
Carl Christensen passed away a long time ago maybe 20 years. I think Bill Fisher also passed away more recently. All else alive as far as I know.
Absolutely love the music for the Rubiks cube sequence, can someone find out what the name of it is
I think it's one of the Switched on Bach by Wendy (Walter) Carlos
@@sressler56Thanks
looks like something from TempleOS
