  Ivan Sutherland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For his invention of Sketchpad and related work, Sutherland received the Turing Award in 1988.
In 1968, Sutherland, with the help of his student Bob Sproull, created what is widely considered to be the first Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Head Mounted Display (HMD) system.
It was primitive both in terms of user interface and realism, and the HMD to be worn by the user was so heavy it had to be suspended from the ceiling, and the graphics comprising the virtual environment were simple wireframe rooms.

Bob Sproull: Its important to note that because ODF is open, that we can have a lot of help on this - it's not just Sun.
