Proposal of a texture characteristic simulation system for clothing EC

Evaluation and Discussion of UI/UX

Abstract

We are developing a simulation system to communicate the texture characteristics of fabrics (thickness, drape, gloss, softness, etc.) on an online clothing sales platform (website). The system's core is a real-time generated 3DCG program that physically calculates the physical characteristics of fabrics (material, thickness, etc.). Using this, we designed a UI/UX that allows comparison display, dynamic viewpoint change, lighting adjustment, and interactive simulation of fabric behaviour. User tests showed that the differences in gloss and thickness were highly evaluated, but further improvement was needed for the deformation behaviour of the cloth, such as the expression of softness.
