Dr. Richard Shoup is a computer scientist and entrepreneur who is mainly known from his pioneering work on computer graphics and animation. He is from Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, but currently resides in San Jose, California.[1] In 1973, while working as one of the first employees at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, he build SuperPaint, one of the first image editing programs.[2][3] In 1979, he co-founded Aurora Systems, a now-defunct company that was an early producer of digital animation hardware and software. He is currently an associate at the Boundary Institute for the Study of Foundations, a non-profit organisation that is involved in research into physical sciences and parapsychology.[1]
