That was Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center)
The company I worked for, built ~200 'Graphics Workstations' for internal use world wide. They used a Monochrome Display on the desk (the rest sat on the floor)
I think a goodly chunk of the Silicon Valley toyed with the idea the Star represented. Apple ran with it. Even the 1 button mouse
