My time at the Media Lab

In 1984 I came to work for Walter Bender

as a UROP. At the time, my only qualification was that I could play softball on Walter's Shadow Mask team.

The first project that I worked on was a visual editor for fixing characters that an antialiasing program didn't get quite right.

Another text related project was the "Laminar Display" which I created some text screen for.

I spent a lot of time working on the color library which was as set of functions for translating colors between color spaces. For example, munsell coordinates to RGB numbers.

I had a great and formative experience at the lab!
