Database for E-Learning Platform of Digital Clothing

Skills of students and professionals in virtual prototyping of clothing require adaptation to the latest software technologies. Such software enables visualization of the fitted garments, customization of the garments according to personal requirements, faster time-to-market of the clothing products and integration of the entire production chain. Common software works as desktop application and requires a lot of technical and financial resources. This paper presents an e-learning platform destined for the training of students and professionals in clothing design. The e-learning platform is available as a web application and includes a digital design learning (DDL) page. The DDL page enables online fitting of fabric-based garments on human avatars and uses for this purpose a digital database. This database includes 49 digital fabrics, 33 digital garments, a set of human avatars as well as various fashion styles. The goal of preparing students and professionals in digital clothing design was assumed by a prestigious European partnership of six research and educational providers, under coordination of INCDTP – Bucharest. The Erasmus+ project DigitalFashion (www.digitalfashionproject.eu) is an ambitious, ongoing project (2022-2025).
