LDS-1 (Line Drawing System-1)
- LDS-1 (Line Drawing System-1)
LDS-1 (Line Drawing System-1) was a computer graphics terminal created by Evans & Sutherland. It was controlled by a PDP-10. It was capable of smooth, real-time animation consisting of straight lines. General principles of operation were similar to the systems we use today - 4x4 transformation matrices, 1x4 vertices... Possible uses included flight simulation (in the product brochure there are screenshots of landing on a carrier), scientifical imaging and GIS systems.
First LDS-1 was shipped to the customer (BBN) in August 1969.
