Augmented Reality Biomaterials Sampler Study

UKRI Interdisciplinary Textiles Circularity Centre

Join us to learn more about new biobased textiles in a research study conducted by the UKRI Interdisciplinary Textiles Circularity Centre.

The Hangar, Royal College of Art, Battersea campus

We would like to invite people interested in discovering more about new biobased textiles in a research study conducted by UKRI Interdisciplinary Textiles Circularity Centre’s research team. This research aims to to understand important factors in sustainable clothing and textiles consumption and facilitate the development of a circular textile economy. We will investigate strategies to get people more involved in circular practices, with the help of digital technology. In this study, we're using Augmented Reality to help people understand the fabrication processes of biobased circular textiles we've developed at TCC. We want to see if Augmented Reality can make it easier for people to grasp the value and importance of these sustainable materials for fashion-apparel. We value your time and commitment to our research. Participants in this study will be reimbursed with a £10 voucher for their time. If you volunteer to participate in this study, you will be asked to do the following things:You will be asked to appreciate and explore a number of samples of TCC’s biobased material, displayed on a shelf and inside an acrylic box.You will be invited to explore a material sample further with the aid of a smartphone with a prototype augmented reality (AR) application developed by the TCC consortium. This application will present information about the fabrication processes behind the selected sample. The application will also gather data on how you interact with the AR application.After that, you will be asked to answer a questionnaire about your experience. The questions will investigate your understanding of the materials, processes and possible uses, as well as explore wellbeing factors relevant to this experience. The experience will be audio and video recorded for further analysis.The study lasts for a maximum of 30 minutes. WHO CAN TAKE PART We would like to invite to this study anyone who is 18 years old or older and regularly purchases clothing and is able to provide their own consent. The Regenerative Fashion Hub The Regenerative Fashion Hub is an exhibition of the Textiles Circularity Centre’s research on sustainable apparel-textiles to engage the public, industry, NGOs and government in discussion, learning and knowledge-exchange. The Regenerative Fashion Hub will host a series of talks, ‘open house’ sessions and other activities. The exhibition showcases circular bio-based textile designs, product and consumer experience designs, and alternative local economy supply chain systems based on a social production network. The exhibition brings to life the circular journey of biomaterials from source of waste through to the design, manufacture, reuse, repair, reproduction and consumption of apparel. The exhibition is a platform for the supply chain's stakeholders to interact with changemakers through a series of talks and discussions on important issues relating to circularity of textiles, experience new ways in which we can interact with materials and each other in the fashion system, and engage in our research through participating in the upcoming studies.
