KMSquote: ZOG restarted 1975 after seeing rapid interaction response of PROMIS

Quotation

Work on ZOG was rekindled in 1975, after Allen Newell and George Robertson observed the PROMIS system at the University of Vermont. PROMIS was a menu system based on rapid-response touch-screen terminals, applied to the task of hospital management [SCHU79]. Struck by the qualitative difference that rapid response brings to menu-selection interfaces, Newell and Robertson began research project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to study the general characteristics of large, rapid-response, menu- selection systems.   Google-1   Google-2
