The field of computer graphics developed with the emergence of computer graphics technology. Projects in this field like the Whirlwind and SAGE Projects helped to open the door to the computer graphics discipline by providing the CRT as a viable display and interaction interface, and introduced the light pen as an important input device. Continuing the development of the digital computer, the TX-2 computer in 1959 at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory was key in the evolution of interactive computer graphics. Their display, a lightpen, and a bank of switches were the interface on which the first interactive computer graphics system was based.
