About
Samin Farajian is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, augmented reality (AR), and digital fabrication. Their work redefines how we bridge the virtual and physical worlds, with a focus on creating intuitive, tangible interfaces. Farajian’s most notable contribution is the concept of “Sketched Reality,” introduced in a 2022 paper that has garnered 44 citations. This work combines AR sketching with actuated tangible user interfaces (TUIs) to enable bi-directional interaction—where virtual sketches and physical objects can dynamically affect one another through digital co-design and physical actuation. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for creative prototyping and immersive design. Additionally, Farajian has advanced the field of fabrication with “Swarm Fabrication,” a novel approach that uses swarm robots to build reconfigurable 3D printers and drawing plotters on demand. By leveraging modular robotic units like toio robots, this work demonstrates scalable, adaptive manufacturing systems. Farajian’s research is characterized by its visionary blend of creativity and engineering, offering transformative tools for artists, designers, and engineers. Their work continues to inspire new paradigms in interactive systems and fabrication technology.
