Abstract

The ENIAC was designed and built at the University of Pennsylvania between 1943 and 1946 and is one of the world's first general-purpose programmable electronic computers. It occupied a 40 x 60 foot room, weighed 30 tons, and was programmed using knobs, switches, and cables. This poster describes the development of a virtual reality simulator of the ENIAC that permits students to program the ENIAC and see it operate.
