Project Template

The Dynamic Documents project began in Apple Computer's Advanced Technology group in 1989. The goal was to explore the role of time-based media as a pervasive part of the Macintosh landscape. We built some of the first prototypes for scanning, editing, logging digital movies on the Macintosh and, more importantly, which showed how they could be incorporated into other kinds of documents such as PowerPoint or email. I was the project lead and built some of the first prototypes. Other team members were Jonathan Cohen, Yin Yin Wong, Michael Arent and Joe Rosen.

These prototypes led to the development of QuickTime which allowed time-based media to be an essential part of Macintosh system software.
