New cooperation between France and Japan with the ASPIRE program

Professor Igarashi, an expert in interactive computer graphics, is the winner of the prestigious ACM SIGGRAPH Significant New Researcher Award (2006) and was inducted into the ACM SIGCHI Academy (2018). Christian Sandor, specialist in augmented reality since the 2000s, led teams in Asia-Pacific before founding a team at LISN in 2024. Its aim is to study applications of artificial intelligence to augmented reality. Their work “PerfectFit: Custom-Fit Garment Design in Augmented Reality” has already won an award at ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2023.

ASPIRE funding will promote exchanges of staff and researchers, to explore in depth the emerging field at the intersection of augmented reality, artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. The complementary nature of the teams involved will guarantee an interdisciplinary and multicultural approach, with the potential for global impact.
