- The History of Computer Graphics page describes Evans & Sutherland as founded by David Evans and Ivan Sutherland in 1968 in Salt Lake City.
- The source supports the broad claim that Evans & Sutherland bridged University of Utah computer-graphics research and commercial visual-simulation systems.

Reliability Notes
This source record is limited: the archive record is official but sparse, and the historical website is secondary. It does not independently establish all product dates and business claims.
