The field of computer graphics has developed alongside the development of digital computers. In 1959’s, MIT Lincoln Labs TX-2 computer birth to the field of interactive graphics. Had in the mid-1960s, large companies like TRW, Lockheed, General Electric and Sperry Rand already begun research and development in computer graphics. IBM 2250 graphics terminal was the first commercially available computer graphics.
In 1969, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), a Special Interest Group on Graphics and Interactive Techniques has launched (SIGGRAPH) for the production and dissemination of information about graphics and interactive techniques promoted. SIGGRAPH interests include simulation and modeling, computer generated art, digital motion analysis, text editing and composition, mapping and cartography, computer-aided design and graphics software and hardware.
In the 1970s PCs became stronger, and they were able to draw shapes and complex designs.
In the late 1980s, 3D graphics, such as 3D models now with computers and GIS graphical user interface (GUI). GUI presented data (input and output) and information with symbols, icons and images as text. The SGI computers were used to create some of the first fully computer generated short films. Today, Apple Macintosh system is one of the most popular choice for computer graphics in graphic design studios and companies.
In the 1990s, rendered 3D image has become the major advances in the computer industry and increased its cinematic graphics applications. VGA and SVGA standards were introduced, and since computers can quickly access photo-realistic images and movies.
Since then, computer graphics become more realistic, because most computer-advanced 3D technology and improved 3D modeling software and applications. With the growing popularity of games, multimedia and animation, 3D graphics are becoming increasingly popular.
In 1996, one of the first 3D game Quake was released. Achieved in 1995 Toy Story, the debut full-length computer animation has been published. In 2001, the powerful computer graphics hardware for NVIDIA GeForce been published. Released in 2003, id Software Doom 3 graphics engine has been playing.
Computer graphics are now widespread. For graphs, the worlds of virtual reality and entertainment, computer graphics have a huge impact on our daily lives.
