It looks like that these were actually generated on an Apple II driving the framebuffer-to-CRT subsystem of a Lisa.

Bill mentions a special card in the Apple II. My sense is that these were not interactive — merely static images generated on a computer to get a sense of real estate — and of course as talking points to replace hand-wavy gestures.
