About
Mehrad Faridan is an innovative researcher working at the intersection of augmented reality, mixed reality, and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on bridging the physical and digital worlds through novel interface design. His work explores how emerging technologies—including actuated tangible user interfaces, holographic telepresence, and mid-air haptics—can fundamentally transform how people interact with and across physical and virtual environments. Among his most notable contributions is *Sketched Reality* (2022, 44 citations), which introduced a groundbreaking bi-directional sketching framework enabling virtual and physical objects to dynamically influence one another through AR and actuated tangibles. His *HoloBots* system (2023, 39 citations) pushed the boundaries of remote collaboration by synchronizing holographic telepresence with mobile robots, allowing remote users genuine physical presence in shared spaces—a significant leap beyond conventional video-based communication. His *UltraBots* project (2022, 12 citations) further demonstrated his range, expanding mid-air ultrasound haptic feedback across large VR environments through robotic actuation. Collectively accumulating nearly 100 citations across just a few years, Faridan's research consistently challenges the limitations of current interactive systems, making him an exciting and rapidly emerging voice in the HCI and immersive technology communities.
