The first public demonstration of a mouse controlling a computer system was done by Doug Engelbart in 1968 as part of the Mother of All Demos. [1] Mice originally used two separate wheels to directly track movement across a surface: one in the x-dimension and one in the Y.

2024年11月21日 · What was the first computer mouse invented? Doug Engelbart invented the first computer mouse as an SRI engineer in 1964. Bill English invented the first ball mouse in 1972, one of many advancements in the evolution of the mouse.

2017年12月29日 · The computer mouse was invented and developed by Douglas Engelbart, with the assistance of Bill English, during the 1960s and was patented on November 17, 1970. While creating the mouse, Douglas was working at the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California, a think tank sponsored by Stanford University.

2023年1月30日 · The first mouse was a wooden shell with two metal wheels on the bottom, which were used to track movement on a surface. In the 1970s, Xerox Corporation developed the first graphical user interface (GUI) for their Alto computer, which was the first to use a mouse as the primary input device.

2024年3月24日 · The invention of the computer mouse revolutionized human-technology interaction. By translating the movement of a small handheld device into intuitive control of a cursor on screen, it enabled the first graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and point-and-click simplicity we now take for granted.

2025年1月26日 · Douglas Engelbart (born January 30, 1925, Portland, Oregon, U.S.—died July 2, 2013, Atherton, California) was an American inventor whose work beginning in the 1950s led to his patent for the computer mouse, the development of the basic graphical user interface (GUI), and groupware.

2018年8月6日 · It was technology visionary and inventor Douglas Engelbart (January 30, 1925 – July 2, 2013) who revolutionized the way computers worked, turning it from a piece of specialized machinery that only a trained scientist could use to a user …

2024年1月10日 · The computer mouse, born out of Douglas Engelbart’s visionary ideas, has evolved from a niche device to a ubiquitous tool that defines human-computer interaction. Its journey, marked by innovations, commercialization, and adaptation to diverse user needs, showcases the dynamic nature of technology.

2024年2月24日 · In 1970, Xerox Corporation introduced the first mouse to the public as part of their Xerox Alto computer system. This was the first time the mouse was made available outside the research community. The Xerox mouse featured a more refined design, with a plastic shell and a single button.

The mouse became part of the ground breaking Xerox Alto computer system which was the first minicomputer system to offer a graphical user interface. It would be another 8 years before the mouse would be developed any further.
