"Many of these folks are truly pioneers in this industry, and through their work, have revolutionized and advanced computer graphics. They are trailblazers who are committed to enriching and advancing the craft through education and interaction with the next generation. Rather than sitting passively on the sidelines, they have influenced continued discoveries, developments, and the maturation of the industry. People like Ed Kramer, David Kasik, Susan Crouse, Matthew Conti, Donald Greenberg, Jon Peddie, Kurt Akeley, Pat Hanrahan, Paul Debevec, Jeff Jortner, Donna Cox, Jim Blinn, Ed Catmull, and many more."
"Matthew Conti has been acknowledged in the Interactive Field as a Pioneer in Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques with recognized distinguishment for his outstanding lifetime contributions in 2015. Since the conception, as well as the creation of his work, also practices, he has been noted for valuable insights and processes that have advanced the design cadence and development of experiences. His body of work has reached over 90 countries."
"Matthew Conti is a pioneer in Computer Graphics, Interactive Techniques, and Human Centered Design (HCD). He has been recognized for his contributions in pioneering work within US Government like the FAA, USAID, DOD, and the ED. Matthew has also worked closely with Presidents/CEOs, Founders, and Partners for small to mid-size Federal Contractors, and he also provides consultation services."
"Dear readers, this issue is a very 'special' Special Issue for IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (IEEE CG&A)—no, not just for IEEE CG&A, but for the whole computer graphics community: in August this year, ACM is celebrating its 50th SIGGRAPH Conference and we are celebrating with them. To do so, our Visual Computing: Origins department editors, Mary Whitton, Chris Johnson, and David Kasik, have collected and curated 200 anecdotes from Computer Graphics pioneers on SIGGRAPH's history. I am sure many of them will be new to you and put a smile on your face—as they did for me."
"The industry, from original pioneers and students to artists and technicians, came together sharing time, expertise, and ideas. The historical offerings ranged from Retrospective Talks and a walk through the early hardware developments to the amazing, interactive Time Tunnel, sponsored by Autodesk, that was created to feature the world's most comprehensive timeline of computer graphics achievements over the past 50 years."

In 2019, he was also recognized for contributing in the pioneering work with the public sector. Since 2020, he has attended multiple receptions as a pioneer of industry, and has been invited to archive his work to preserve his legacy, as a key player in the development of computer graphics as industry.
He has given multiple talks in relations to Human-Centered Design, User Experience, and Usability as an accomplished academic, artist, as well as a consultant."

"It's the 'Who's Who' of Computer Graphics, and I feel humbled to be part of this group of people."
"Matthew Conti, pioneer in Human-Centered Design, User Experience, and Usability. Usability is the ease of use and learnability of a human-made object such as a tool or device. Mr. Conti will be discussing the concept of Usability, going beyond technical applications and reaching into day-to-day things that comprise our daily experiences."
"Mr. Conti, an acknowledged Pioneer in the UX Design field, will not only provide key insights into this exciting field, he will also discuss practices in Human Centered Design as well the importance of how we interface and interact with our environment of things.
Interest in UX Design has grown rapidly over the years and has been applied to many different fields. With the proliferation of workplace computers in the early 1990s, user experience became an important concern for designers. The goal of UX Design is to enhance user satisfaction with a product by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with the product."
