The outline of the Media Laboratory was formed in 1980 by Professor Nicholas Negroponte and former Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) President Jerome Wiesner, growing out of work by MIT’s Architecture Machine Group (AMG, whose project SEEK was exhibited in Software in 1970), and building on seminal work of faculty members in a range of other disciplines, from cognition and learning to electronic music and holography.

"The Aspen Movie Map was a revolutionary multimedia system developed at MIT by Andrew Lippman in 1978. The Aspen Movie Map allowed the user to take a virtual tour through the city of Aspen, Colorado. This was accomplished with the use of four video cameras, which were pointed in different directions and took video footage while mounted on the back of a truck through the streets of Aspen. Once the footage was recorded, the pictures were linked together and allow the user to choose one of several predefined paths in which to tour the city." [1]
