In 1968 Ivan SutherlandOffsite Link at the University of Utah, with the help of his student Bob Sproull, created the first Virtual RealityOffsite Link (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) head mounted display system.

The Sword of Damocles was one of the earliest forms of virtual reality and helped pave the way for modern simulation technology.

For his pioneering and visionary contributions to computer graphics, starting with Sketchpad, and continuing after.

Ivan Edward Sutherland (born May 16, 1938)[1] is an American computer scientist and Internet pioneer, widely regarded as the "father of computer graphics."[2] His early work in computer graphics as well as his teaching with David C. Evans in that subject at the University of Utah in the 1970s was pioneering in the field. Sutherland, Evans, and his students from that era invented several foundations of modern computer graphics. He received the Turing Award from the Association for Computing Machinery in 1988 for the invention of Sketchpad, an early predecessor to the sort of graphical user interface that has become ubiquitous in personal computers. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, as well as the National Academy of Sciences among many other major awards. In 2012 he was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology for "pioneering achievements in the development of computer graphics and interactive interfaces".[3]
