* Douglas Engelbart, as an internet pioneer, the inventor of the computer mouse, in human – computer interaction, committed, vocal proponent of the development and use of computers and networks to help cope with the world ’ s increasingly urgent and complex problems

Douglas Engelbart recently filed two new patents for mobile chorded keyset devices and TipTap. mobi has released a chorded app for the iPhone with Douglas Engelbart.

Doug Engelbart began experimenting with a keysets to use with the mouse in the mid 1960s.

Engelbart used the keyset with his left hand and the mouse with his right to type text and enter commands.

In 1945, Engelbart had read with interest Vannevar Bush's article " As We May Think ", a call to action for making knowledge widely available as a national peacetime grand challenge.

Engelbart applied for a patent in 1967 and received it in 1970, for the wooden shell with two metal wheels ( computer mouse-), which he had developed with Bill English, his lead engineer, a few years earlier.

Teaming with his daughter, Christina Engelbart, in 1988 he founded the Bootstrap Institute to coalesce his ideas into a series of three-day and half-day management seminars offered at Stanford University 1989 – 2000.

In early 2000 Engelbart produced, with volunteers and sponsors, what was called The Unfinished Revolution – II, also known as the Engelbart Colloquium at Stanford University, to document and publicize his work and ideas to a larger audience ( live, and online ).

Robert X. Cringely did an hour long interview with Engelbart on December 9, 2005 in his NerdTV video podcast series.

Other books on Engelbart and his laboratory include Bootstrapping: Douglas Engelbart, Coevolution, and the Origins of Personal Computing by Thierry Bardini and The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart, by Valerie Landau and Eileen Clegg in conversation with Douglas Engelbart.

All four of these books are based on interviews with Engelbart as well as other contributors in his laboratory.

Engelbart recruited a research team in his new Augmentation Research Center ( ARC, the lab he founded at SRI ), and became the driving force behind the design and development of the oN-Line System ( NLS ).

Doug Engelbart first envisioned collaborative computing in 1951 Doug Engelbart-Father of Groupware, documented his vision in 1962, with working prototypes in full operational use by his research team by the mid 1960s, and held the first public demonstration of his work in 1968 in what is now referred to as " The Mother of All Demos.

Meanwhile, working independently, a team led by Douglas Engelbart ( with Jeff Rulifson as chief programmer ) was the first to implement the hyperlink concept for scrolling within a single document ( 1966 ), and soon after for connecting between paragraphs within separate documents ( 1968 ), with NLS.

At the Fall 1968 Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, Engelbart, Bill English, Jeff Rulifson and the rest of the Human Augmentation Research Center team at SRI showed on a big screen how he could manipulate a computer remotely located in Menlo Park, while sitting on a San Francisco stage, using his mouse.

In December 1968 in a 90 minute session at the Fall Joint Computer Conference, Engelbart and his team presented their work in a live demonstration, including real-time video conferencing and interactive editing in an era when batch processing was still the paradigm for using computers.

In December of that year, Engelbart demonstrated a ' hypertext ' ( meaning editing ) interface to the public for the first time, in what has come to be known as " The Mother of All Demos ".

NLS was demonstrated by Engelbart on December 9, 1968 to a large audience at that year's Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco.

The first instance of a collaborative real-time editor was demonstrated by Douglas Engelbart in 1968, in The Mother of All Demos.

Although the NIC at first used NLS, it was intended to be a production service to other network users, while Engelbart continued to focus on innovative research.

Tymshare took over NLS and the lab that Engelbart had founded, hired most of the lab's staff including its creator as a Senior Scientist, renamed the software Augment, and offered it as a commercial service via its new Office Automation Division.

Douglas Engelbart independently began working on his NLS system in 1962 at Stanford Research Institute, although delays in obtaining funding, personnel, and equipment meant that its key features were not completed until 1968.

* NLS ( computer system ) or oN-Line System, a pioneering computer system by Douglas Engelbart

The Alto was conceived in 1972 in a memo written by Butler Lampson, inspired by the On-Line System ( NLS ) developed by Douglas Engelbart at SRI, and was designed primarily by Chuck Thacker.

Designed by Douglas Engelbart and implemented by researchers at the Augmentation Research Center ( ARC ) at the Stanford Research Institute ( SRI ), the NLS system was the first to employ the practical use of hypertext links, the mouse, raster-scan video monitors, information organized by relevance, screen windowing, presentation programs, and other modern computing concepts.

Sketchpad inspired Douglas Engelbart to design and develop oN-Line System at the Augmentation Research Center ( ARC ) at the Stanford Research Institute ( SRI ) during the 1960s.

Only 2, 000 softcover copies were printed, and 100 hardcover, numbered and signed by Engelbart and Tim Berners-Lee.

Douglas Engelbart introduced the chorded keyset as a computer interface in 1968 at what is often called " The Mother of All Demos ".

In a famous 1968 demonstration, Engelbart introduced a computer human interface that included the QWERTY keyboard, a three button mouse computer mouse, and a five key keyset.

Douglas Carl Engelbart ( born January 30, 1925 ) is an American inventor, and an early computer and internet pioneer.

Engelbart saw the future in collaborative, networked, timeshare ( client-server ) computers, which younger programmers rejected in favor of the personal computer.

* 1925 – Douglas Engelbart, American computer scientist

Moore may have heard Douglas Engelbart, a co-inventor of today's mechanical computer mouse, discuss the projected downscaling of integrated circuit size in a 1960 lecture.

With his colleagues at the Stanford Research Institute, Engelbart started to develop a computer system to augment human abilities, including learning.

The range of products offered improvements over a product originally developed at LAMI ( École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ) by professor Jean-Daniel Nicoud and engineer André Guignard, who was involved in the design changes of the computer mouse originally invented by Douglas Engelbart.

# Carry forward the vision of Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart, and Ted Nelson of the computer as a medium for communication, collaboration, and coordination.

His laboratory, LAMI ( LAboratoire de Micro-Informatique ), developed the Smaky computer, in addition to the optical computer mouse, an update of the traditional kinetic mouse invented by Douglas Engelbart.

William ' Bill ' K. English is a computer engineer who contributed to the development of the computer mouse while working for Douglas Engelbart at SRI International's Augmentation Research Center.

The inventor of the computer " mouse ", Douglas Engelbart, studied collaborative software ( especially revision control in computer-aided software engineering and the way a graphic user interface could enable interpersonal communication ) in the 1960s.
