Abstract
To determine the technologies at the origin of computer graphics, this analysis focuses on prior art documents cited in patent publications from 1940s and 1950s technologies that, together, led to the emergence of computer graphics in the 1960s. The key finding is that, in addition to computing and television, computer graphics has deep roots in radar-related technologies and aircraft instrumentation.
