Christian Sandor (born August 8, 1975) is a German researcher specializing in augmented reality (since the year 2000) and generative artificial intelligence (since 2018).[1]
Sandor is currently the leader of Team ARAI at LISN, a joint research lab between Université Paris-Saclay and the CNRS, in order to investigate how generative artificial intelligence can be applied to augmented reality applications.
At ACM SIGGRAPH 2024's Real-Time Live! event, they presented[2] the first-ever stage performance with audio-reactive visuals synchronized across several augmented reality glasses.
Impact on augmented reality research
The impact of Sandor's research in the augmented reality domain has been widely recognized. ScholarGPS ranks him as world-wide number 19 for augmented reality,[3] among more than 45,000 scholars in the field. He has received numerous awards at the premier augmented reality conference IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality.
His publication profile is unique with 90 out of 149 publications indexed by Google Scholar having the term “augmented reality” included in the title.[4]
He has served as an associate editor for the premier journal in the field (IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics) and was recognized with the “Associate Editor of the Year Award (Augmented Reality)” in 2021.[5]

Personal life
Until the age of 21, Sandor focussed on chess. Aged 19, he became blitz chess champion of Bavaria in the adult category.[11] He also managed to win a serious game[12] against GM Robert Hübner, the former number 3 in the world rankings. He then retired from serious chess in order[1] to focus on his studies at TU München, Germany.
He is married and has a daughter born 2018.
