Doug Engelbart invented the computer mouse in the early 1960s in his research lab at Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International). The first prototype – a one-button mouse in a wooden shell on wheels – was built in 1964 to test the concept.
道格·恩格爾巴特（Doug Engelbart）于1960年代初在斯坦福研究所（現為SRI國際）的研究實驗室中發明了計算機鼠標。1964年，第一個原型機——一個裝在帶輪子的木殼中的一鍵鼠標——是為了測試這個概念而建造的。

Based on results of his landmark study on ‘Augmenting the Human Intellect,’ Engelbart had received modest funding to evaluate the speed and efficiency of various devices for pointing on a display screen, like the joy stick, including a few his team rigged up and threw into the mix, like the one they called a “mouse.” Which pointing device scored the highest? How was it built and tested? What inspired all this anyway? Read on! And don’t miss Check it Out below for original footage, photos, timelines, documents, fun facts, and more.
根據他關于“增強人類智力”的里程碑式研究的結果，恩格爾巴特獲得了適度的資金，用于評估各種指向顯示屏的設備的速度和效率，比如操縱桿，包括他的團隊組裝并投入其中的一些設備，比如他們稱之為“鼠標”的設備。哪個指點設備得分最高？它是如何構建和測試的？究竟是什么激發了這一切？請繼續閱讀！不要錯過下面的原始鏡頭、照片、時間線、文檔、有趣的事實等。

A patent application for the mouse was filed in 1967, and US Patent 3,541,541 was awarded in 1970 under the descriptive title “X-Y position indicator for a display system.”
鼠標于1967年提交了專利申請，1970年以“顯示系統的X-Y位置指示器”的描述性標題授予了美國專利3,541,541。

Although many impressive innovations for interacting with computers have followed in the last 50 years since its invention, the mouse remains to this day the most efficient hands on pointing device available for speed and accuracy.
盡管自發明以來的過去 50 年中，與計算機交互的創新令人印象深刻，但鼠標至今仍是可用于速度和準確性的最有效的手動指針設備。

The basic idea for the mouse first came to him in 1961 while sitting in a conference session on computer graphics, his mind mulling over the challenge of making interactive computing more efficient. It occurred to him that, using a pair of small wheels traversing a tabletop, one wheel turning horizontally, one turning vertically, the computer could track their combined rotations and move the cursor on the display accordingly. The wheels could function something like the wheels on a planimeter – a tool used by engineers and geographers to measure areas on a map, blueprint, drawing, etc. – but in this case, rolling the wheels around on the tabletop would plot the x,y coordinates for a cursor on a computer screen. He recorded the idea in his notebook for future reference.
1961年，當他參加一個關于計算機圖形學的會議時，他第一次想到了鼠標的基本想法，當時他的腦海中正在考慮提高交互式計算效率的挑戰。他突然想到，使用一對橫穿桌面的小輪子，一個輪子水平轉動，一個輪子垂直轉動，計算機可以跟蹤它們的組合旋轉并相應地在顯示器上移動光標。輪子的功能類似于平面儀上的輪子——工程師和地理學家用來測量地圖、藍圖、繪圖等區域的工具——但在這種情況下，在桌面上滾動輪子會在計算機屏幕上繪制光標的 x，y 坐標。他把這個想法記錄在筆記本上，以備將來參考。

Since 1951 Doug had envisioned intellectual workers sitting at high-performance interactive display workstations, accessing a vast online information space in which to collaborate on important problems. When pondering the question of pointing devices in 1961, he was in the midst of an in-depth study of how teams and organizations might become much more effective in solving important problems. In 1962 he published his findings in “Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework,” which in 1963 garnered him some modest funding from ARPA to begin to hire a very small research team, and set up a basic lab with computer resources, teletypes, and finally, a display workstation.
自 1951 年以來，Doug 就設想了智力工作者坐在高性能交互式顯示工作站上，訪問廣闊的在線信息空間，在其中就重要問題進行協作。1961 年，當他思考指向設備的問題時，他正在深入研究團隊和組織如何更有效地解決重要問題。1962年，他在《增強人類智力：一個概念框架》上發表了他的研究成果，1963年，他從 ARPA 獲得了一些適度的資金，開始雇用一個非常小的研究團隊，并建立了一個擁有計算機資源、電傳打字機的基礎實驗室，最后是一個顯示工作站。

By now there were several off-the-shelf solutions for moving a cursor and selecting something on a display screen, but no good data about which would be most efficient to meet Engelbart’s “high-performance” requirement. He applied for and was awarded a small grant from NASA to explore that question.
到目前為止，已經有幾種現成的解決方案可以移動光標和在顯示屏上選擇某些內容，但是沒有關于哪種解決方案最有效地滿足 Engelbart 的“高性能”要求的良好數據。他申請并獲得了美國宇航局的一小筆資助，以探索這個問題。

The first mouse prototype

Doug and team rounded up then best-of-breed pointing devices to evaluate, and rigged up some in-house devices to add to the mix as well, such as a knee-operated device (see Mouse Alternatives below). He also reviewed his earlier notes with lead engineer Bill English, who built a prototype of the hand-held device with perpendicular wheels mounted in a carved out wooden block, with a button on top, to test with the others. This was the first mouse (pictured left and below). Watch Doug and Bill (above right) discussing this study and the first mouse.
Doug 和團隊收集了當時最好的指點設備進行評估，并組裝了一些內部設備以添加到組合中，例如膝關節操作設備（請參閱下面的鼠標替代品）。他還與首席工程師比爾·英格利奇（Bill English）一起回顧了他早期的筆記，后者構建了手持設備的原型，垂直輪子安裝在雕刻的木塊中，頂部有一個按鈕，可以與其他設備一起測試。這是第一只鼠標（左圖和下圖）。觀看 Doug 和 Bill（右上）討論這項研究和第一只小鼠。

In 1965 Engelbart’s team published the final report of their study evaluating the efficiency of the various screen-selection techniques. They had pitted the mouse against a handful of other devices, some off the shelf, some of their own making (see Mouse Alternatives below). The mouse won hands down, and was thus included as standard equipment in their research moving forward (see Screen-Selection Experiments below for links to key reports and papers detailing these experiments). In 1967, SRI filed for the patent on the mouse, under the more formal name of “x,y position indicator for a display system,” and the patent was awarded in 1970.
1965年，恩格爾巴特的團隊發表了他們研究的最終報告，評估了各種屏幕選擇技術的效率。他們讓鼠標與一些其他設備進行了對比，有些是現成的，有些是他們自己制造的（見下面的鼠標替代品）。鼠標贏得了勝利，因此被列為他們研究的標準設備（有關詳細介紹這些實驗的關鍵報告和論文的鏈接，請參閱下面的屏幕選擇實驗）。1967 年，SRI 以更正式的名稱“顯示系統的 x，y 位置指示器”申請了鼠標專利，該專利于 1970 年授予。

The first mouse plugged into it’s display workstation - circa 1964

Enter, the Keyset: To further increase efficiency, Engelbart’s team thought to offer a companion to the mouse – a device for the left hand to enter commands or text while the right hand was busy pointing and clicking (shown above). After trying out several variations, they settled on a telegraph-style “keyset” with five piano-like keys. This keyset also became standard equipment in the lab (pictured below). Both devices were introduced to the public in Engelbart’s 1968 demonstration, now known as the “Mother of All Demos” (see Check It Out below for links to selected video footage of the debut, historic photos, and more).
輸入，鍵集：為了進一步提高效率，Engelbart的團隊考慮為鼠標提供一個伴侶 - 一種讓左手輸入命令或文本的設備，而右手則忙于指向和點擊（如上圖所示）。在嘗試了幾種變體后，他們決定使用帶有五個類似鋼琴的鍵盤的電報式“鍵組”。該按鍵也成為實驗室的標準設備（如下圖所示）。這兩款設備都是在 Engelbart 1968 年的演示中向公眾介紹的，現在被稱為“所有演示之母”（請參閱下面的“查看”，了解首次亮相的精選視頻片段、歷史照片等的鏈接）。

1968 version includes three-button mouse and five-key keyset](http://dougengelbart.org/images/pix/img0030.jpg) (click to enlarge)

The mouse we built for the [1968] show was an early prototype that had three buttons. We turned it around so the tail came out the top. We started with it going the other direction, but the cord got tangled when you moved your arm.
我們為 [1968] 展會制作的鼠標是一個早期的原型，有三個按鈕。我們把它轉過來，讓尾巴露出來。我們從另一個方向開始，但當你移動手臂時，繩子就纏住了。

I first started making notes for the mouse in '61. At the time, the popular device for pointing on the screen was a light pen, which had come out of the radar program during the war. It was the standard way to navigate, but I didn’t think it was quite right.
我第一次開始為鼠標做筆記是在 61 年。當時，在屏幕上指向的流行設備是一支光筆，它是在戰爭期間從雷達程序中出來的。這是標準的導航方式，但我認為這并不完全正確。

Two or three years later, we tested all the pointing gadgets available to see which was the best. Aside from the light pen there was the tracking ball and a slider on a pivot. I also wanted to try this mouse idea, so Bill English went off and built it.
兩三年后，我們測試了所有可用的指針小工具，看看哪個是最好的。除了光筆之外，還有跟蹤球和樞軸上的滑塊。我也想嘗試這個鼠標的想法，所以比爾·英格利斯（Bill English）開始建造它。

We set up our experiments and the mouse won in every category, even though it had never been used before. It was faster, and with it people made fewer mistakes. Five or six of us were involved in these tests, but no one can remember who started calling it a mouse. I’m surprised the name stuck.
我們設置了實驗，鼠標在每個類別中都獲勝，盡管它以前從未使用過。它更快，人們犯的錯誤更少。我們當中有五六個人參與了這些測試，但沒人記得是誰開始稱它為鼠標。我很驚訝這個名字卡住了。

We also did a lot of experiments to see how many buttons the mouse should have. We tried as many as five. We settled on three. That’s all we could fit. Now the three-button mouse has become standard, except for the Mac.
我們還做了很多實驗，看看鼠標應該有多少個按鈕。我們嘗試了多達五次。我們選擇了三個。這就是我們所能適應的。現在三鍵鼠標已成為標準配置，Mac除外。

Engelbart and his team tested a half dozen pointing devices for speed and accuracy. These included the mouse, and a knee apparatus (pictured below, right), both created in-house, along with several off the shelf devices such as DEC’s Grafacon (pictured below, center, modified for testing purposes), a joy stick, and a light pen. See Screen-Selection Experiments below for links to more details and photos. They also experimented with a foot pedal device as well as a head mounted device, neither of which made it into the final tests.
Engelbart和他的團隊測試了六種指針設備的速度和準確性。其中包括鼠標和膝關節裝置（如下圖右圖所示），兩者都是在內部創建的，以及一些現成的設備，例如DEC的Grafacon（如下圖所示，中間，為測試目的而修改），操縱桿和一支光筆。請參閱下面的屏幕選擇實驗，了解更多詳細信息和照片的鏈接。他們還試驗了腳踏板裝置和頭戴式裝置，但都沒有進入最終測試。

In the 1950s, Doug Engelbart set his sights on a lofty goal – to develop dramatically better ways to support intellectual workers around the globe in the daunting task of finding solutions to larger and larger problems with greater speed and effectiveness than ever before imagined. His goal was to revolutionize the way we work together on such tasks. He saw computers, at the time used primarily for number crunching, as a new medium for advancing the state of the art in collaborative knowledge work. Building on technology available at the time, his research agenda required that his team push the envelope on all fronts: they had to expand the boundaries of display technology and interactive computing and human-computer interface, help launch network computing, and invent hypermedia, groupware, knowledge management, digital libraries, computer supported software engineering, client-server architecture, the mouse, etc. on the technical front, as well as pushing the frontiers in process reengineering and continuous improvement, including inventing entirely new organizational concepts and methodologies on the human front. Engelbart even invented his own innovation strategy for accelerating the rate and scale of innovation in his lab which, by the way, proved very effective. His seminal work garnered many awards, and sparked a revolution that blossomed into the Information Age and the Internet. But as yet we have only scratched the surface of the true potential Engelbart envisioned for dramatically boosting our collective IQ in the service of humankind's greatest challenges.
在1950年代，道格·恩格爾巴特（Doug Engelbart）將目光投向了一個崇高的目標——開發更好的方法，以支持全球的智力工作者完成艱巨的任務，即以比以往任何時候都更快的速度和效率為越來越大的問題找到解決方案。他的目標是徹底改變我們在此類任務上的合作方式。他認為當時主要用于數字運算的計算機是推動協作知識工作最新技術水平的新媒介。在當時可用的技術基礎上，他的研究議程要求他的團隊在各個方面突破極限：他們必須擴大顯示技術、交互式計算和人機界面的界限，幫助啟動網絡計算，并在技術方面發明超媒體、群件、知識管理、數字圖書館、計算機支持的軟件工程、客戶端-服務器架構、鼠標等， 以及推動流程再造和持續改進的前沿，包括在人性化方面發明全新的組織概念和方法。恩格爾巴特甚至發明了自己的創新策略，以加快實驗室的創新速度和規模，順便說一句，事實證明，這非常有效。他的開創性工作獲得了許多獎項，并引發了一場革命，這場革命在信息時代和互聯網中蓬勃發展。但到目前為止，我們只是觸及了恩格爾巴特所設想的真正潛力的表面，即在為人類最大的挑戰服務時，大大提高我們的集體智商。

Doug’s Early Vision:
From the introduction of his Augmenting human intellect: A conceptual framework (1962):

Let us consider an augmented architect at work. He sits at a working station that has a visual display screen some three feet on a side; this is his working surface, and is controlled by a computer (his “clerk”) with which he can communicate by means of a small keyboard and various other devices.
讓我們考慮一個增強的架構師在工作。他坐在一個工作站上，該工作站的邊長約三英尺處有一個視覺顯示屏;這是他的工作臺面，由一臺計算機（他的“文員”）控制，他可以通過小鍵盤和各種其他設備進行通信。

He is designing a building. He has already dreamed up several basic layouts and structural forms, and is trying them out on the screen. The surveying data for the layout he is working on now have already been entered, and he has just coaxed the clerk to show him a perspective view of the steep hillside building site with the roadway above, symbolic representations of the various trees that are to remain on the lot, and the service tie points for the different utilities. The view occupies the left two-thirds of the screen. With a pointer he indicates two points of interest, moves his left hand rapidly over the keyboard, and the distance and elevation between the points indicated appear on the right-hand third of the screen.
他正在設計一棟建筑。他已經構思了幾種基本的布局和結構形式，并正在屏幕上嘗試它們。他現在正在處理的布局的測量數據已經輸入，他剛剛哄騙店員向他展示了陡峭的山坡建筑工地的透視圖，上面有道路，將保留在地塊上的各種樹木的象征性表示，以及不同公用設施的服務連接點。視圖占據了屏幕的左三分之二。他用指針指示兩個興趣點，左手在鍵盤上快速移動，指示點之間的距離和高度出現在屏幕的右側三分之一處。

Doug Engelbart, 1962 [Source]

From As We May Think by Vannevar Bush, 1945 (quoted by Engelbart in Augmenting Human Intellect):

"Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library. It needs a name, and to coin one at random, “memex” will do. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.
“考慮一個未來供個人使用的設備，這是一種機械化的私人文件和庫。它需要一個名字，隨機創造一個，“memex”就可以了。memex 是一種設備，個人可以在其中存儲他所有的書籍、記錄和通信，并且它是機械化的，因此可以以超快的速度和靈活性進行查閱。這是對他記憶的擴大的親密補充。

"It consists of a desk, and while it can presumably be operated from a distance, it is primarily the piece of furniture at which he works. On the top are slanting translucent screens, on which material can be projected for convenient reading. There is a keyboard, and sets of buttons and levers. Otherwise it looks like an ordinary desk.
“它由一張桌子組成，雖然它可以從遠處操作，但它主要是他工作的家具。頂部是傾斜的半透明屏幕，可以在上面投影材料以方便閱讀。有一個鍵盤，以及一組按鈕和杠桿。否則，它看起來像一張普通的桌子。

In the early 1970s, the mouse migrated from Doug’s lab at SRI to Xerox PARC (along with some of his team), and later to Apple when Steve Jobs visited Xerox PARC, and beyond. One of the most common myths about the mouse is the mistaken belief that it was invented at Xerox PARC. Note that the first mouse was built in 1964, the patent for the mouse was filed in 1967, and demonstrated to an audience of over a thousand in 1968, by which time production models were in operational use throughout Doug’s lab. Xerox PARC did not exist until 1970.
在 1970 年代初期，鼠標從 Doug 在 SRI 的實驗室遷移到 Xerox PARC（和他的一些團隊），后來當史蒂夫·喬布斯訪問施樂 PARC 時，鼠標遷移到了蘋果，等等。關于鼠標最常見的神話之一是錯誤地認為它是在施樂 PARC 發明的。請注意，第一只鼠標是在 1964 年制造的，鼠標的專利是在 1967 年提交的，并于 1968 年向一千多名觀眾演示，當時生產模型已在整個 Doug 的實驗室中投入使用。施樂 PARC 直到 1970 年才存在。
