From Intelligence to new sustainable design, fashion, competence and business

HAMK’s “From Intelligence to new sustainable design, fashion, competence and business” project aims to offer sustainable solutions to the textile industry’s huge negative environmental effects and fast fashion consumption by utilizing digitalization. In the project, together with companies, different ways of utilizing digitalization in business is developed, such as by implementing 3D modeling and videos of products to enliven websites. In addition, the project will pilot product customization possibilities using 3D modeling and take the results of the piloting to a virtual final show.

EXPLORE THE VIRTUAL SHOWCASE CREATED IN THE PROJECT

The “Häme Virtual – The Changing Landscape of Fashion” virtual show brings together the pilots implemented in the project. The virtual show presents the pilots in an immersive way, utilizing storytelling and the landscapes of the Häme region, allowing the viewer to fully immerse themselves when watching the show with VR glasses. Watch the video of the virtual show. 

DIGITAL TOOLS

Digitalization can be utilized in the design and implementation processes of physical clothing at various retail locations as well as in services such as virtual fitting. The project has compiled a list of useful tools that can be used to promote digital design and fashion in your own business.

3D scans and modeling

3D scans can be done with separate scanners (for example Artec Eva 3D) or with phones. The difference in these is the intended use of the final product – is accurate modeling necessary or is modeling the appearance sufficient. The following programs are intended for fast modeling, i.e. if you want a quick way to scan an object into a digital 3D model without additional processing.

RealityScan +  Sketchfab
Scan an object with your phone, which becomes a 3D model. The use of the app is free, but the further use of the models with Sketchfab costs.

Body measurement tools

  • Tailor.Guide. The customer sends pictures of himself through the application, the software processes the measurements for the clothing manufacturer based on the pictures.
  • SizeMe. A size recommendation tool that can be embedded in an online store.
  • Virtusize (demo). Create a digital avatar of yourself and visually see how the clothes in the online store fit.
  • Sizer. By scanning him-/herself, the user gets accurate measurements. The company offers an independent application, one embedded in the online store, and a customer user interface.
