  • Description: Curtis Wong is a Principal Researcher in eScience at Microsoft Research. He joined Microsoft starting the Next Media Research group focusing on interaction, media, and visualization technologies. Curtis is the co-creator of WorldWideTelescope.org, worldwidetelescope.org , a free interactive storytelling and virtual learning environment providing the highest resolution multispectral imagery of the universe. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.) On January 14, 2011, Caltech hosted TEDxCaltech, an exciting one-day event to honor Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate, Caltech physics professor, iconoclast, visionary, and all-around "curious character."
