Nick England

Nick England is a researcher and entrepreneur who founded Ikonas and 3rdTech.

The core of Nick England's research was establishing raster graphics, rather than vector graphics, which is what people were using before.

He submitted a paper to Siggraph 1978 titled "A system for interactive modeling of physical curved surface objects". It was a video passthrough binocular stereoscopic spatial computing system.

"It's important to see content creation tools that let creative people share their vision with someone else. Sometimes that's limited by the hardware we have now. But that will change." - Nick England
