Abstract: Virtual Reality is a technology that gives the user the experience of being
surrounded by a computer-generated environment. With the recent upcoming of affordable
VR technology a boom can be seen in a variety of areas. The fast paced progress made
in this technology makes it important to also think of ways to connect it with fashion design.
Possibilities to transfer the designing process into a virtual environment using drawing
applications like Tilt Brush already exist. By placing a digital dummy puppet into the virtual
environment the designer is able to intuitively paint clothes onto it. The created designs
can then be exported and directly transferred to other 3D software packages for further
processing or turned into plastic print-outs by a 3D printer. Transferring the whole
prototyping process of clothes into a virtual environment will make it more intuitive, flexible
and time saving.
Key Words: Virtual Reality, Immersion, Textile, Fabric, Fashion, Design
