Smart Wardobe — PoC
Using creative technology to visualize the future of fashion
Challenge: Design of a proof of concept for a future wardrobe, combining cutting edge technologies to allow for suggestion-based usage of clothes powering circular economy and smart shopping.
Solution: We introduce Smart Wardrobe – a step into the future of the Smart Home, where technology and convenience merge to forever change the way we live. Utilizing RFID, Cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) to analyze your preferences and lifestyle in order to provide custom clothing management and advice.

...More than just a piece of furniture.
IoT
IoT sensors in a Smart Wardrobe enable remote monitoring and control of the clothing items.
XR
XR motion tracking allows users to interact with the mirror touchless, using gestures to manipulate the virtual image
Cloud
Data collected and processed from the wardrobe in the cloud for real time analysis and storage.
Digital Twins
All the garments have digital twins, which can be used in a virtual mirror for try-on and styling
What is RFID?
The technology behind the wardorbe
Radio-Frequency Identification is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects wirelessly. This type of tracking system uses smart barcodes in order to identify objects. High durability ensures washing (washing, drying) cycles up to 200 times and ironing at 250°C for 5min.
RFID technology has the potential to provide real-time tracking, automated inventory management and improved efficiency. Additionally, it can be integrated with IoT, AI, big data and Metaverse.

PoC Outcomes
In the final PoC2, built into the wardrobe, you can see yourself as a 3D avatar in a Virtual Mirror where the avatar will mimic your movements in real time and wears the clothes suggested. The user is able to interact with this interface through real time movements which will trigger the change of clothes.
The Wardrobe PoC
This project team combined a variety of skillsets such as creative technologists, developers, 3D and XR experts. My responsability was to take ownership for the user experience, prototyping, creation and delivery of the interface in the Smart Wardrobe app and the Virtual Mirror.
