"We live in a world whose properties we have come to know well through
long familiarity. (...) A display connected to a digital computer gives
us a chance to gain familiarity with concepts not realizable in the physical
world. It is a looking glass into a mathematical wonderland.
...
The ultimate display would, of course, be a room within which a computer
can control the existence of matter.
...
With appropriate programming such a display could literally be the wonderland
into which Alice walked."
- Ivan E. Sutherland, "The Ultimate Display". In Proceeding of the IFIP
Congress 1965.
