Computer animation - Boeing-Wichita

Time: 1964

Place: Wichita, Kansas, U.S.

Details: In the 1960s, William Fetter was a graphic designer for Boeing at Wichita and was credited with coining the phrase "Computer Graphics" to describe what he was doing at Boeing at the time (though Fetter himself credited this to colleague Verne Hudson). Fetter's work included the 1964 development of ergonomic descriptions of the human body that are both accurate and adaptable to different environments, and this resulted in the first 3D animated "wireframe" figures.
