The first mouse ever
have developed in the history of computer designers with varying success, using other human-computer interaction methods to spread general, wide and easy to learn features: voice and handwriting recognition. recognition systems, human language and handwriting, today there are still the universality and diversity of the typed text is missing.
In 1970, dipped a further alternative to dialogue. The research at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center offered an alternative to the typewriter – an interface that is a form of human gestures, the most fundamental of all human communication methods.
Altus Systems and the Xerox Star and led the mouse to point and select the primary human-computer communication process. The user only needs to be pointed to the screen with the mouse as a mediator. These systems also introduced the graphical user interface as we know it today. Ivan Sutherland at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of the credit for introducing the first of its graphics program Sketchpad in 1963 is given. Lines, circles and dots can be drawn on a screen with a light pen. Xerox worked to develop hand-pointing devices in 1960 and patented a scroll wheel in 1970. In 1974, Xerox patented mouse today, when a researcher suddenly was inspired by a track ball on his head.
Xerox was never fast in a position to successfully market, STAR, but Apple raised the concept and the Macintosh was released in 1984, was the first successful mass-market system. A new concept was born, that a revolution in human-computer interface. This new interface style progressed rapidly than other products on the market. In 1985, Microsoft Windows 1.0 and published Commodore Amiga introduced 100th In 1987, Apple introduced the Macintosh II, the first color Macintosh, and the X Window system has been widely available.
IBM’s contribution was the publication of its Systems Application Architecture (including Common User Access) and Presentation Manager, a graphical operating system designed to replace DOS. Other milestones of development in the 1988 release of NeXT Next Step, the first to simulate a three-dimensional screen. Then, in 1989 published several UNIX-based GUIs, including Open Look AT & T and Sun Microsystems, and Motif for the Open Software Foundation by DEC and Hewlett-Packard. Had an open mind innovative look to avoid legal challenges. And finally, by the year 1990 and 2000 appeared a suite of products and upgrades from Microsoft and Apple.
