About

Shahram Ghandeharizadeh is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of distributed systems, databases, and emerging immersive 3D display technologies. His recent groundbreaking work focuses on realizing the science fiction vision of a holodeck through the development of "Flying Light Specks" (FLS)—autonomous, coordinated drones that serve as physical voxels to create interactive 3D environments. His 2023 paper "Dronevision: An Experimental 3D Testbed for Flying Light Specks" (8 citations) introduces a novel experimental platform that replaces traditional warehouse-sized drone laboratories with permanent localization equipment, offering a more flexible and accessible approach to 3D display research. Ghandeharizadeh has also made critical contributions to user safety in these emerging systems, as demonstrated in his 2022 work "Safety in the Emerging Holodeck Applications" (2 citations), which addresses the unique physical interaction challenges posed by immersive displays. His research bridges theoretical foundations from his extensive work in database systems with practical engineering challenges in robotics and human-computer interaction, positioning him as a leading voice in the development of next-generation spatial computing environments.
