Editing Augmentation Research Center (section)

==NASA funding==
[[NASA]] began to provide major funding at the behest of [[Robert Taylor (computer scientist)|Robert Taylor]] in 1964. A custom graphical workstation was built around a commercial computer, the [[CDC 160A]], and a [[CDC 3000|CDC 3100]], which handled a single user at a time. In 1965, Taylor became IPTO director, leading to increased funding. In 1968 an [[SDS 940]] computer running the [[Berkeley Timesharing System]] allowed multiple users as part of the [[NLS (computer system)|oN-Line System (NLS)]].

The project was first called ARNAS after the sponsors. For a few years it was then called the Augmented Human Intellect Research Center, which got shortened to the Augmentation Research Center around 1969.<ref name="sul">{{cite web |title= Douglas Engelbart |work= Stanford and the Silicon Valley Oral History Interviews |publisher= [[Stanford University]] |author= Interview conducted by Judy Adams and Henry Low |date= December 19, 1986 – April 1, 1987 |url= http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/hasrg/histsci/ssvoral/engelbart/start1.html |access-date= April 19, 2011 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110420212855/http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/hasrg/histsci/ssvoral/engelbart/start1.html| archive-date= 20 April 2011 | url-status= live}}</ref>
