Summary
Today, the complex sensations of comfort (interaction body – clothing, suitability of fabrics, etc.) are subjectively evaluated on a static body. The goal of this project was to provide new knowledge about garment comfort and fit taking into account the body movement. The comfort sensation was objectively measured with new 3D simulation tools on animated bodies, returning numerical fitting data.
Thus, with this research, new avenues can be opened up for the development of innovative applications of advanced garment design. In particular, new pattern making methods taking into account the body movement can be imagined, an aspect that current processes are not able to consider nor apply in clothing.
A pilot project was carried out within the framework of this research, watch the video here.
