A GRAPHIC TABLET DISPLAY CONSOLE FOR USE UNDER TIME-SHARING.
Abstract
The problems of using highly interactive graphic consoles with a time-shared processor are discussed in this paper. Some solutions to these problems are given and are illustrated in the graphic tablet display (GTD) console used with the SDC Time-Sharing System (TSS). Also described in this paper are the components of the GTD, its interface with the TSS, and its operation. The GTD console employs a rear-projection display on a RAND Tablet, improving the 'naturalness' of man-machine communication. The GTD/TSS interface takes advantage of an existing I/O preprocessor to provide the necessary response time for most of the console's highly interactive functions. (Author)
