Abstract

Broadly, this research aims to explore technology to create future sustainable and inclusive approaches in the fashion and textiles industry. This paper (1) addresses aspects to enhance the creative digital design process and (2) to facilitate creative and immersive design and emotive sensory wearer experiences, for future-enhanced physical products and virtual experiences. This involves a multimodal experience, and in particular, here the potential of vibrotactile and vibrotactile acoustic devices within this experience. A number of studies have explored wearable vibrotactile interfaces. However, the sense of touch, as a sophisticated and sensitive tool or skill, could be harnessed further. A literature review identifies relevant factors at this early stage of the research that will be used as a basis for developing multimodal design strategies using the sense of touch; and a creative yet functional analysis of this wearable technology.
