Evans (computer scientist)|David C. Evans]] in that subject at the [[University of Utah]] in the 1970s was pioneering in the field. Sutherland, Evans, and their students from that era developed several foundations of modern computer graphics. He received the [[Turing Award]] from the [[Association for Computing Machinery]] in 1988 for the invention of the [[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 [[United States National Academy of Sciences|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".<ref>{{cite web|title=The 2012 Kyoto Prize Laureates|url=http://www.kyotoprize.org/en/28k-laureates-a.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130415061607/http://www.kyotoprize.org/en/28k-laureates-a.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=15 April 2013|publisher=Inamori Foundation|access-date=1 January 2013}}</ref><ref name=imdb>{{IMDb name|1542963|name=Ivan F.

==Early life and education==
Sutherland's father was from New Zealand; his mother, Anne Sutherland, was from Scotland. His family moved to [[Wilmette, Illinois]], then [[Scarsdale, New York]], for his father's career. [[Bert Sutherland]] was his elder brother.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/NZJxwzVx5BY Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20200221173958/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZJxwzVx5BY Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite interview |last=Sutherland |first=Bert |subject-link=Bert Sutherland |interviewer=David C.

Sutherland invented [[Sketchpad]] in 1962 while at MIT. [[Claude Shannon]] signed on to supervise Sutherland's computer drawing thesis.<ref name=mathgene/> Among others on his thesis committee were [[Marvin Minsky]] and [[Steven Coons]]. Sketchpad was an innovative program that influenced alternative forms of interaction with computers. Sketchpad could accept constraints and specified relationships among segments and arcs, including the diameter of arcs. It could draw both horizontal and vertical lines and combine them into figures and shapes. Figures could be copied, moved, rotated, or resized, retaining their basic properties. Sketchpad also had the first window-drawing program and clipping algorithm, which allowed zooming. Sketchpad ran on the [[Lincoln TX-2]] computer.

==Career and research==
From 1963 to 1965, after he received his PhD, he served in the U.S. Army, commissioning as an officer through the ROTC program at Carnegie Institute of Technology. As a first lieutenant, Sutherland replaced [[J. C. R. Licklider]] as the head of the US Defense Department [[DARPA|Advanced Research Project Agency]]'s  [[Information Processing Techniques Office]] (IPTO), when Licklider took a job at IBM in 1964.<ref>{{cite book | title = The Internet: A Historical Encyclopedia |author1=Moschovitis Group |author2=Hilary W.

From 1965 to 1968, Sutherland was an associate professor of electrical engineering at [[Harvard University]]. Work with student [[Danny Cohen (engineer)|Danny Cohen]] in 1967 led to the development of the [[Cohen–Sutherland]] computer graphics line clipping algorithm. In 1968, with his students [[Bob Sproull]], Quintin Foster, [[Danny Cohen (engineer)|Danny Cohen]], and others he created the first head-mounted display that rendered images for the viewer's changing pose, as sensed by [[The Sword of Damocles (virtual reality)|The Sword of Damocles]], thus making the first [[virtual reality]] system. A prior system, [[Sensorama]],<ref>{{Citation|title=Stereoscopic-television apparatus for individual use|date=1957-05-24|url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US2955156A/en |website=Google Patents |id=US2955156A |access-date=2018-05-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.techradar.com/news/wearables/forgotten-genius-the-man-who-made-a-working-vr-machine-in-1957-1318253/2|title=A Gear VR for from the 1950s? - Forgotten genius: the man who made a working VR machine in 1957 |website= TechRadar |first1=Holly |last1=Brockwell |date=April 3, 2016  |access-date=2018-05-17|language=EN-GB}}</ref> used a [[Head Mounted Display|head-mounted display]] to play back static video and other sensory stimuli. The optical see-through head-mounted display used in Sutherland's VR system was a stock item used by U.S. military helicopter pilots to view video from cameras mounted on the helicopter's belly.

From 1968 to 1974, Sutherland was a professor at the [[University of Utah]]. Among his students there were [[Alan Kay]], inventor of the [[Smalltalk]] language, Gordon W. Romney (computer and cybersecurity scientist), who rendered the first 3D images at U of U, [[Henri Gouraud (computer scientist)|Henri Gouraud]], who devised the [[Gouraud shading]] technique, [[Franklin C. Crow|Frank Crow]], who went on to develop [[Spatial anti-aliasing|antialiasing]] methods, Jim Clark, founder of [[Silicon Graphics]], [[Henry Fuchs]], and [[Edwin Catmull]], co-founder of [[Pixar]] and now president of [[Walt Disney Feature Animation|Walt Disney]] and Pixar Animation Studios.

In 1968 he co-founded [[Evans & Sutherland]] with his friend and colleague [[David C. Evans (computer scientist)|David C. Evans]]. The company did pioneering work in the field of real-time hardware, accelerated [[3D computer graphics]], and [[Computer printer|printer]] languages. Former employees of Evans & Sutherland included the future founders of [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]] ([[John Warnock]]) and [[Silicon Graphics]] ([[James H. Clark|Jim Clark]]).

From 1974 to 1978 he was the [[Fletcher Jones (American entrepreneur)|Fletcher Jones]] Professor of Computer Science at [[California Institute of Technology]], where he was the founding head of that school's computer science department.  He then founded a consulting firm, Sutherland, Sproull and Associates, which was purchased in 1990 by [[Sun Microsystems]] to form the seed of its research division, Sun Labs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ivan Sutherland |url=https://computerhistory.org/profile/ivan-sutherland/ |access-date=2024-01-28 |website=Computer History Museum |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=VLSI Research |url=https://labs.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=94065:12:17236785846387:20 |access-date=2024-01-28 |website=Oracle Labs}}</ref>

Sutherland was a fellow and vice president at [[Sun Microsystems]]. Sutherland was a visiting scholar in the computer science division at [[University of California, Berkeley]] (fall 2005 – spring 2008). Since 2009, Sutherland and Roncken have led the research in [[Asynchronous Systems]] at [[Portland State University]].<ref>{{cite web |title= About ARC |work= Asynchronous Research Center |publisher= Portland State University |url= http://arc.cecs.pdx.edu/about |access-date= April 1, 2011 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110720025622/http://arc.cecs.pdx.edu/about |archive-date= July 20, 2011 }}</ref><ref name="CV">[https://arc.cecs.pdx.edu/sites/all/uploads/CV_IvanSutherland.pdf CV of Ivan Sutherland], [[Portland State University]]</ref>

Sutherland describes his tenure as head of the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) from 1963 to 1965. He discusses the existing programs as established by [[J. C. R. Licklider]] and the new initiatives started while he was there: projects in graphics and networking, the [[ILLIAC IV]], and the Macromodule program.
