Overview Microsoft Research (MSR) is one of the top research centers worldwide, currently employing Turing Award winners, C.A.R. , the company's own computer science research organization founded in 1991. The theme of this year's design challenge, which will be held in Redmond, Seattle on Aug 2nd and 3rd, is"people to people." This year's design challenge will highlight technology that enhances interpersonal communication Interpersonal communication is the process of sending and receiving information between two or more people. Types of Interpersonal Communication This kind of communication is subdivided into dyadic communication, Public speaking, and small-group communication. . In keeping with that theme, the team from Bezalel, headed by renowned industrial design engineer Ezri Tarazi Prof. Ezri Tarazi (b.
