After receiving his BA from Harvard University, he joined the Architecture Machine Group at MIT, and received his MS from MIT. Bender was a founding member of the Media Lab. He studies new information technologies, particularly those that affect people directly; much of this research addresses the idea of building upon the interactive styles associated with existing media and extending them into domains where a computer is incorporated into the interaction. He has participated in much of the pioneering research in the field of electronic publishing and personalized, interactive multimedia.</p> </div> <!-- /content --> <div id="sub-content"> <img src="../../img/WalterBender.jpg" width="192" height="243" alt="Walter Bender" /> </div> <!-- /sub-content --> </div> <!-- /main-content --> </div> <!-- /main-body --> <div id="footer"> <p>Copyright © 2007 One Laptop Per Child</p> <p id="sponsor">Designed by <a href="http://www.pentagram.com" target="_blank">Pentagram</a> | <a href="http://www.nurun.com">Powered by Nurun</a></p> </div> <!-- /footer --> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-1264681-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
