METAMORPH
Project Concept
Metamoprh
A novel solution to help to enhance our users’ self-esteem and self-image, designed to reduce feeling of isolation and loneliness by incorporating technology into apparel that connects users to a digital replica/twin to be played within the Metaverse.
The intention is to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds, using the connectivity of the internet to improve our users connection with themselves, their environment, and other users in the Metaverse.
Key word: Metaverse, a visual representation of the internet that individuals experience digitally usually as an avatar.
Digital twin
A digital twin is a digital copy of a tangible object, person or building replicated within the Metaverse.
An outcome of Metamorph is three digital twins: a jacket, a pair of trousers, and a chosen model replicated as an avatar. I had produced the jacket and trouser ensemble in real life, which were tailored to the measures of the model who I created a digital twin of.
As the jacket, trousers, and model digital twins where identical I was able to dress the digital twin avatar in the duplicated jacket and trousers, like in real life. This was with the intention to connect the digital and real-life ensembles together via pressure, vibration, temperature, and motion sensors, incorporated in the real-life garments, replicating experiences in the Metaverse to the real- world user. Such as; the warmth of a hug, the of chill rain, the motion of movement, the temperature of a room.
Presently, the project is only concept based, however, the intention for its future progression is for users to be able to conduct a facial and/ or bodily scan of themselves that enables a digital twin avatar to be generated to use within the Metaverse. They will also be able to buy a Metamoprh ‘connectively sensor pack’, containing sensory technology that can easily be implement into their own garments so they can feel their Metaverse experiences.

Outcomes
​
Due to the project’s novel nature, there are three main outcomes;
​
First: A tangible ensemble.
Second: A digital replica of the ensemble created in the Marvellous Designer softer.
Third: A promotional concept video, demonstrating the novel established concept I have developed along with the project’s longevity- seen on the websites landing page.
