DigiBarn TV Feature:
Video on the Xerox Star 8010 Professional Workstation
By Xerox in the 1982-84 time frame with the historical look back in 1998
DigiBarn is proud to present digital restorations of original Xerox videos from the introduction and first years of the Xerox Star 8010 professional workstation as well as videos from the CHI '98 demo of the Xerox Star and from the final public demonstration of the Xerox Star held at PARC on June 17, 1998. It was at this demonstration that your curator, Bruce Damer, decided to build the DigiBarn site which led to the full development of the DigiBarn Computer Museum project three years later.
The Xerox Star and Apple Lisa were demonstrated in a joint session at CHI '98. This detailed video of the demonstration of the Xerox Star user interface was presented by David Smith and Dave Curbow. Thanks to Frank Ludolph for providing this illustrative video! Also see the demo of the Apple Lisa done in the same session.
