Multi-thread input
Peter P. Tanner · ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics · 1987
Implementors of interactive computer workstations have tended to shy away from making several devices simultaneously available to a user of their systems. The principal reason for this reluctance has been the difficulty faced by an application program in analyzing the several streams of input that such a configuration would present. Recently systems have been developed that support such multi-thread input. This paper discusses the requirements of multi-thread input and gives examples of how the requirements are being met by the experimental systems.
