Bumping Elbows explores a workflow integrating 3D body scanning technology with robotic knitting to create personalized garments. Traditional 3D knitting development relies on 2D drafts and panels, rooted in industrial flatbed knitting practices. Our approach leverages accurate topology measurements …

In sexual assault cases, the retrieved DNA quantity and sampling location from the victim’s underwear may provide valuable information for activity level evaluative reporting. DNA can transfer from site to site on an exhibit, or be lost within packaging, complicating interpretation. Experiments are needed …

This report investigates how consumers can be motivated to reduce microplastic pollution from fashion. The research used a mix of qualitative and quantitative data, including surveys and interviews. It concludes that the production, use, and disposal of garments contribute to microfiber release and subsequent …

The process of making adaptive and responsive wearables on the scale of the body hasoften been a process where designers use off-the-shelf parts or hand-crafted electronics to fabricategarments. However, recent research has shown the importance of emergence in the process of making.Second Skins is a …

This research is conducted within the company context of Grosso Moda to investigate how the accuracy of digital garment simulation of suiting styles can be improved so that the product development process can replace physical samples with digital ones to improve efficiency while reducing time and costs. Suiting …

We report on the calibration and testing of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based 2D-shape sensing strip for real-time monitoring of the position and orientation of the human spine during gait. The strip is evaluated for its use as an input for control of an exoskeleton for patients with spinal cord injury. …

The flexible strain sensors have been a topic of interest for multiple studies in the past years. These sensors are soft, bendable mechanisms, which can be applied to substrates through printing or other means. They can indicate longitudinal strain through resistance change, which means that they can …

Many of the Virtual Fitting Rooms, which are currently available, are built on various methods. Those are mostly virtual avatar or a machine that uses Microsoft Kinect camera, mainly enhancing the experience of in-store shops. The main drawbacks are the high cost of the facility or the inaccurate capturing …

The textile trading system is based on the ‘take-make-use-dispose’ linear economic model: as high amounts of resources are utilized at low costs, the final products become waste after being used for a only short period. This creates an unbalanced system that has to change. A circular economy model can …
