Articles by Ted Selker

Dr. Ted Selker is an Associate Professor at the MIT Media, the Director of the Context Aware Computing Lab, the MIT director of The Voting Technology Project and the Counter Intelligence/ Design Intelligence special interest group on domestic and product-design of the future. Ted’s work strives to demonstrate that people’s intentions can be recognized and respected by the things we design. Context aware computing creates a world in which people’s desires and intentions cause computers to help them. This group is recognized for its creating environments that use sensors and artificial intelligence to create so-called “virtual sensors”; adaptive models of users to create keyboard less computer scenarios. Prior to joining MIT faculty in November 1999, Ted was an IBM fellow and directed the User Systems Ergonomics Research lab. He has served as a consulting professor at Stanford University, has taught at Hampshire, at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and at Brown University. He has worked at Xerox PARC and Atari Research Labs.
