3D Workspace: Exploring Virtual Learning and Design in Fashion

Restrictions in the pandemic and the changed teaching education and learning conditions have challenged us to come up with new creative solutions. We are currently encountering virtual models at an explosive rate and the fashion world must also tie in here. These changed conditions open up the implementation of alternative forms of learning. We developed the Workspace as an experimental project in order to unite cross-curricular competencies and resources even in times of isolation.

The conceptual orientation passed through an interplay between the imparting of virtual competence and free space for the development of individual design skills. Due to the diversity of the participants, a highly motivated group dynamic developed in the creation process.

Current developments show that the trend towards virtual showrooms, 3D clothing, as well as simulations in virtual space and augmented reality is unstoppable.

We see great potential for digital projects at the university level in the future. It shows, especially in the current situation, a variety of necessary application areas. The digital competence of the students of Textile and Clothing Technology will be expanded to design innovative solutions in virtual consumer worlds in the future working world.
