Well, as a starting point for a literature search, I'd try William
M. Newman and Robert F. Sproull, Principles of Interactive Compuer
Graphics, McGraw Hill, New York, 1973.

Although they do not have anything directly relevant, they have several
comments on relevant technologies, and a very good bibliography.

At the other end, you might check out just what Jobs and Woziack
had in mind when they build the Apple.  

Ditto work at PARC.

See ya
