Notable Alumni[edit]

Alumni listed here should be notable. Verification of notability can be done through google or other methods.

Removed reference to 'Hanif Knight - Professional Video Gamer' who comes up under virtually nothing other than this wikipedia page.Caidh 13:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Being a former 'Former Top 5 National Warcraft 3 Pro Gamer' is not enough to merit being a notable alumni of this school - especially in comparison to the others listed here. See Wikipedia: Notability (people) for information on notability. If you believe this individual should be added, put some reasoning for this here.Caidh (talk) 23:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Thomas G. Zimmerman as a notable alumni[edit]

Proposal to add the following notable alumni; Thomas G. Zimmerman – (Class of 1975) - inventor of Virtual Reality PowerGlove and TED Speaker

Argument; Mr. Zimmerman invented the PowerGlove, which sold over 1 million units in 1987-1988, creating the first wide-spread deployment of a commercial Virtual Reality (VR) system. In 1995 Zimmerman defined the term Personal Area Network (PAN) and invented an electric field PAN to send data through the body. In 2018 he delivered a TED talk on one of his inventions (Microscopic Reality System) which has over 1 million views. He has over 50 patents and is recognized by IBM Research as a Master Inventor, "a privilege and title afforded to IBM inventors who have exhibited sustained invention activity".
