Douglas Carl Engelbart (January 30, 1925 – July 2, 2013) was an American engineer, inventor, and a pioneer in many aspects of computer science.He is best known for his work on founding the field of human–computer interaction, particularly while at his Augmentation Research Center Lab in SRI International, which resulted in creation of the computer mouse, [a] and the development of ...
The first prototype of a computer mouse, as designed by Bill English from Douglas Engelbart's sketches [1]. Engelbart had assembled a team of computer engineers and programmers at his Augmentation Research Center (ARC) located in Stanford University's Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the early 1960s.

The Doug Engelbart Institute, previously known as The Bootstrap Alliance, is a collaborative organization founded in 1988 by the late Douglas Engelbart and his daughter Christina Engelbart, [1] to research into the enhancement of human ability to solve complex, urgent problems. [2]
Don Andrews, Bill English, and Doug Engelbart at SRI's Augmentation Research Center during a meeting with sponsors of the program. SRI International's Augmentation Research Center (ARC) was founded in the 1960s by electrical engineer Douglas Engelbart to develop and experiment with new tools and techniques for collaboration and information processing.
Engelbart continued leading-edge research in the ARC, while the NIC provided a service to all network users. This led to establishing the NIC as a separate project with Feinler as manager. [7] The NWG and Feinler's team defined a simple text file format for host names in 1974, [8] and revised the format several times as the networks evolved.
In 1964, he was the first person to join Douglas Engelbart's lab, the Augmentation Research Center. The SRI prototype mouse, designed by Engelbart and built by English. He and Douglas Engelbart share credit for creating the first computer mouse in 1963; English built the initial prototype, and was its first user, based on Engelbart's notes.
NLS (oN-Line System) was a revolutionary computer collaboration system developed in the 1960s. It was designed by Douglas Engelbart and implemented by researchers at the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
Elizabeth J. "Jake" Feinler (born 1931) was a staff member of Doug Engelbart's Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at SRI and PI for the Network Information Center (NIC) for the ARPANET and the Defense Data Network (DDN) from 1972 until 1989. [121] [122] In 2012, Feinler was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame by the Internet Society. [15]
