Myron W. Krueger

Myron Krueger (born 1942 in Gary, Indiana) is an American computer artist[1] who developed early interactive works.

From 1974 to 1978 M. Krueger performed computer graphics research at the Space Science and Engineering Center of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in exchange for institutional support for his "Videoplace" work.

"Videoplace" has been exhibited widely in both art and science contexts in the United States and Canada, and it was also shown in Japan.

Instead of taking the virtual reality track of head-mounted display and data glove (which would come later in the 1980s), he investigated projections onto walls.

Though his work was somewhat unheralded in mainstream VR thinking for many years as it moved down a path that culminated in the "goggles 'n gloves" archetype, his legacy has experienced greater interest as more recent technological approaches (such as CAVE and Powerwall implementations) move toward the unencumbered interaction approaches championed by Krueger.
