This real-time interactive computer graphics system derives from the author’s dissertation at the Ohio State University (National Science Foundation Grant GJ-204, Charles A. Csuri, project director). The system, called “The Graphics Symbiosis System” or “Grass” was first designed to help artists interactively explore computer art without the constant companionship of a programmer. Over the past three years, it has been expanded at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle and is now the image generation portion of a short-order full-color animation videotape production facility called “The Circle Graphics Habitat.” Combined with Dan Sandin’s Image Processor, the system is sufficiently powerful and flexible to be used in real-time performance context here at UICC.
