Jacket of the Future
"Jacket of the Future" is a speculative design concept that reimagines wearable technology. The project combines modular design with transformable materials to create a jacket with adaptable functions such as posture support, protection, and insulation.
By incorporating user feedback and exploring innovative fabric treatments like heat-induced textures, "Jacket of the Future" emphasizes functionality, aesthetics, and tangible interactions. The project introduced me to speculative design and material experimentation, where I gained hands-on experience with fabric manipulation, electronics integration, and modularity. User testing highlighted the importance of aligning design outcomes with user needs and iterating based on feedback.
This project expanded my understanding of how technology and aesthetics intersect in wearable design. It deepened my interest in creating functional, adaptable products and reinforced my commitment to user-centered design and material exploration, focusing on solutions that enhance everyday interactions.
