technology, in and around the home.
DDTR is a driving force within the Digital Home Group: our charter is to develop a clear & actionable understanding of daily life all over the world, identify opportunities for our platforms to enable experiences
that consumers value, merge original insights with technology, market, platform and planning intelligence to define usage models & platform requirements,
and seed future research & platform opportunties. DHG's vision is to make Intel the trusted foundation of your digital home. To that end, the Digital Home Group develops computing and communications oriented
platforms that anticipate and satisfy the needs of consumers world-wide. We will be offering 3 month paid internships starting in October '06, January '07, and April '07, for graduate students in anthropology, design

We are looking for individuals with experience in designing and conducting both qualitative and quantitative user or design research studies,
