The Wiesner Building's AtriumThe MIT Media Lab in the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology engages in education and research in the digital technology used for expression and communication. It was founded in 1985 by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte and former MIT President Jerome Wiesner (now deceased) and opened its doors in the Wiesner Building (designed by I. M. Pei), or the E15 building at MIT in 1985. On February 1, 2006, Frank Moss assumed the role of lab director. Moss succeeds previous directors Nicholas Negroponte and Walter Bender. Deluxe.
Research
The Media Lab focuses on interdisciplinary research. The research generally does not involve directly developing core technologies, but rather developing applications of those technologies, or combining those technologies in new and interesting ways. Indeed, several of the projects at the Media Lab are almost purely artistic in nature. Core technology projects exist (see Center for Bits and Atoms), but are a minority at the Lab.
A large number of research groups focus on topics related to human computer interaction. While this includes traditional user interface design, most groups working on this take a broader view. Interactive Voice Call Master.
