UCLIC Research Seminar Series

This online seminar presents work in progress to develop low-cost ubiquitous technology to support a textile circular economy based on wellbeing.

The first part will explore how to best harness interactive low cost ubiquitous tools to capture garment material properties and behaviour. Initial work will be presented on building a new AI-powered material sensing technology based on video camera and thermal imaging. This is to help consumers make informed choices during purchasing as well as helping consumers care about long-term material quality maintenance.

The second part will focus on technology that engages consumers in embodied experiences of textiles to increase awareness of how they feel. The research team are investigating how multimodal movement sensing technology could be leveraged to engage people in exploring how textiles feel to touch and how they behave and feel when the textiles are worn. The long term aim is to engage people in an embodied dialogue with the clothes they have or want to purchase to ensure a more fulfilling and satisfying experience.
