'Tools for future creator' is a project that allows the fashion design to be re-imagined in an Augmented Reality future. Appliqué is an ecosystem utilizing AR layers to create added value to physical clothing. This ecosystem includes a platform for fashion designers to design AR effects and a platform for viewers to view live streams, comment, and share their AR fashion.

In Augmented Reality Future,
how could fashion garment evolve?
Getting over the material constraints of physical fabric, fashion designer in the future could almost make anything in their imagination realized in the Augmented Reality
Appliqué brings AR fashion alive,
with tools for designer to create
and platforms for users to consume.
Use Case with Rachel Kinnard

Tools for Fashion Designers
Designing both physical garment and the AR layer requires a new working flow for fashion designers. A toggled view ensured the smoothness of working back and forth in both physical and AR.
Physical Garment Design View with realtime 3D simulation
Toggle to AR Design View and add AR contents on top of physical garments
Once finished the design, upload and publish
Platform for Consumers
A web, in addition to the mobile and the wearable, hosts all the feeds of
AR fashion for users to share, comment and purchase the garment.
It is also a virtual runway show.
AR Effects
Different AR effects are provided for designer to use.
And there will be more...
