It's pretty sad that almost none of the people thus far mentioned in
this thread are actually interaction designers.
I humbly submit (in order of appearance):
Vannevar Bush
Ivan Sutherland
Doug Engelbart
Bob Taylor
Alan Kay
Larry Tesler
Tim Mott
Mitch Kapor
Jef Raskin
Bill Atkinson
Shigeru Miyamoto
Marc Andreessen
Jeff Hawkins
Will Wright
My criteria was a lasting contribution via products to the shared
language of interaction design that has informed and inspired current
generations of designers (knowingly or unknowingly).
