Author: Doree Duncan Seligmann
Ph.D
Dr. Dorée Duncan Seligmann is currently the director of Collaborative Applications Research at Avaya Labs where she works in the areas of communication-enabling business processes, context-aware applications, presence-based technologies, mobile communication solutions, communications middleware, and user-interface techniques. Since joining Avaya she has filed over 50 patents.
Her interest is to develop new systems that enable people to communicate more effectively and efficiently. Under the broad rubric of providing a rich user interface, this work involves issues ranging from aesthetic considerations to mechanisms to increase ease-of-use and a user's control over devices and systems to ways of humanizing network management systems.
Seligmann studied anthropology at Harvard U., writing a thesis that compared Irish and Irish-American pubs. Afterward, she moved to Paris, where she spent several years directing and designing theatrical productions and started a English-language theatre. Unpon returning to the United States, she earned a PhD in Computer Science at Columbia University. Her dissertation, Interactive Intent-Based Illustrations: Visual Language for 3D Worlds, describes a system to automatically generate 3D graphics based on communicative intent.
At Bell Laboratories, she was a designer of Rapport, and early multimedia conferencing system from which several products at AT&T and Lucent Technologies were born. She also developed N-ICE (Networked-Interactive Collaborative Environment) that enables users to share arbitrary application programs in persistent environments. She then developed Archways, which merges her dissertation work with her work in multimedia systems. Archways automatically generates a 3D virtual environment (3D graphics and 3D sound) for multimedia communication using knowledge-based graphics and intelligent objects. She was head of the Metaphorium, experiments in visual metaphors and narratives, including the Message is The Medium, SubwaySurface, MessageInABottle, SandTypewriter/SkyWriter, LiveWebStationary, and the IsleOfWrite.
Seligmann has written a book about her great-aunt, Isadora Duncan, entitled "Life Into Art: Isadora Duncan and Her World" published by W.W.Norton, NY. She edits the art and technology column in IEEE Multimedia.
