Bio needs to include Mr. Roberts seminal contribution to 3D computer graphics

Latest comment: 9 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is a travesty that the bio on this page does not mention Mr. Roberts seminal contribution to 3D computer graphics, a contribution so fundamental that it is still in universal use today 60 years later, a contribution its first user called "clean (and brilliant)". What is it? It is the combination of projective geometry and matrix algebra used for transformations and perspective projection by everybody in 3d computer graphics. It is described in Appendix A of his 1963 PhD thesis "Machine Perception of Three-Dimensional Solids" at https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/11589/33959125-MIT.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y.

Lawrence Roberts (scientist) → Larry Roberts (computer scientist) – Move over redirect to a more common name for the article subject, and a more accurate disambiguator Whizz40 (talk) 17:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom. We usually try to avoid "scientist" as a disambiguator in favour of a more specific term. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
