Utah's graphics pioneers

They were a group of young, scrappy, but brilliant University of Utah computer science students and professors who changed the world.

Ed Catmull. John Warnock. Jim Clark. Alan Kay. Ivan Sutherland. Martin Newell. They are a just a handful of the luminaries in the late 1960s and 1970s who revolutionized computer graphics by inventing technologies that have aided and shaped countless industries today.

For the first time ever, these and other legends of that time will be reuniting on the U campus Thursday, March 23, and Friday, March 24, to commemorate their roles as 3D graphics pioneers and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the U's Kahlert School of Computing.
