Wendy Elizabeth Mackay (born May 25, 1956) is a CanadianComputer Scientist who created a multimedia research group which produced the first commercial interactive video system (IVIS), a pre-Hypercard multimedia authoring language and over 30 multimedia projects. She is a member of the CHI Academy and a recipient of a European Research Council Advanced grant. She has been visiting proffesor in Stanford University between 2010 and 2012, and recieved the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Service Award in 2014.

Biography
Mackay received a B.A. in Psychology from University of California, San Diego in 1977. She received a M.S. in Psychology from Northeastern University in 1979 and a Ph.D in Computer Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990.

Her scientific contributions include writing the original toolkit software for IVIS, the world's first interactive video system. She also conducted the first major study of electronic mail while at MIT. Her design methods are taught in institutions around the world such as Stanford, MIT, Georgia Tech, and University of British Columbia. Mackay has published over two hundred research articles in human-computer interaction and has served as program chair or on the program committees of ACM CHI, ACM UIST, ACM CSCW, ACM DIS and ACM Multimedia.

Career
After graduating from MIT with a Ph.D, Mackay formed a multimedia research grop at Digital Equipment Corporation. There, she created over 30 multimedia projects, including the first interactive video system which was titled IVIS. She then continued to manage resaerch groups at MIT and eventually worked as a senior research scientist at Xerox PARC (company) where she published an award winning special issue of Communications of the ACM on Computer Augmented Environments. She also worked on augmented paper interfaces and explored the integration of paper with the online world. Afterward, she taught at University of Aarhus, University of Paris-Sud, and Stanford University as a visiting professor.
