I have to say the interface -- rotating dials and pen for data input -- were
quite advanced for the time.

It also goes on to show that computers were quite able to do some wireframe
computations like that in realtime at the time.  It's also amusing to see that
back then it was used just to give a futuristic "computerized look" for the
regular hand-constructed, photographed models, while today much is produced on
the computer first and then made into production.
