Interactive Video Games

Originally called TV Game Unit #7, the “Brown Box” console, developed by IEEE Fellow, Edison Medal and Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award and National Medal of Technology recipient Ralph H. Baer, also known as “The Father of the Video Games,” and his colleagues William H. Harrison and William T. Rusch at defense contractor Sander Associates (now part of BAE Systems) between 1966 and 1968 in Nashua, New Hampshire, USA, was the first video game system. It used an ordinary home television set as a display and thereby, for the first time, turned the television set into an interactive device. This paper provides a historical description of Baer's work that paved the way for a multi-billion-dollar interactive console video game industry as well as related and derivative uses in other contexts and devices, for which the achievement was recognized with an IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing in September 2015.
