...barrel-chested rugby fan, Rajapaksa, 63, will need that common touch to bring Sri Lanka to a true and lasting peace between the island nation's Sinhalese majority (which is mostly Buddhist) and Tamil minority (mostly Hindu). The civil war began in earnest in July 1983, after nearly 3,000 Tamils were killed in several days of systematic anti-Tamil violence.

But ITRI's future may lie within the center's Creativity Lab. At its entryway is a collection of odd video games developed at the lab, including one that allows visitors to interact with a digitally generated infant. Inside, researchers dress in blue jeans and polo shirts instead of the usual white coats, and converse in a room with movable walls...
