This is the Portfolio of my emerging technologies project. I have created a VR experience that’s meant to explore the topic of fashion
Continuing this project from the proposal and planning stage into the design and implementation stage has been difficult due to many different factors; however I have also acquired a lot of knowledge about the medium of VR and XR.The main problems that I encountered included the workflow of the entire project as I was juggling multiple software I haven’t used before in one project – this has allowed me to experiment with different formats and techniques however it also led to being overwhelmed with options and struggling to export work seamlessly between each program (some of them did not have a smooth workflow between each other in terms of exporting and working).
Kniazeva et al. (2023) argue that fashion brands are increasingly adopting metaverse technologies to create immersive experiences that encourage deeper consumer engagement beyond traditional runway presentations.
Later, I have decided to experiment with other software that would make it more feasible to complete before the deadline – the programs were Twinmotion and Metahuman. The first time I discovered the Twinmotion program, I have looked through the available features and models as well as implementation plug-ins and possibilities. After discovering the library of posed human models I have
I have originally tried to include multiple models on the runway to make it more realistic and stressful for the main model. I have encountered many problems by trying to achieve this, such as the clothing I designed not properly fitting to the mesh or the rig no matter what I tried to fix; the animation not playing properly in Blender, despite working perfectly fine in Marvelous Designer, and clothing physics not applying properly, and falling against the human model.
Ethical & Accesibility Concerns
The first screen of this VR experience is a title screen which needs more consideration of spacing and the sphere of vision which raises a lot of accessibility issues if it is not done correctly.

Low fidelity UI
First, I have sketched out some ideas for phrases that would convey the idea in a more subtle and restrained way that mirrors the art direction of many of the fashion shows I have researched. I have used a clean sans-serif typeface to convey the messages in a neutral way that will later overwhelm the user not by visual overcrowding, but by the tone of the messages.

Software and Limitations
When trying to find the best workflow for this project, I have struggled a lot with Metahumans’ compability with other programs such as Blender, Marvelous Designer and even Unreal Engine. The main struggle was with trying to convert the correct files without something breaking as MetaHuman is difficult to work with in terms of compability.
Clothing
During the learning process, I have tried to create some basic garments in Marvelous Designer to grasp the techniques that I would be using to bring the outfit sketches to life. This experience has helped shape the project in the sense that
When creating the Metahuman for my main fashion model, I have tried to create a person that looks like a typical person however could still be selected as a model due to her unique facial features. This process has
When designing the clothing for this fashion collection, I have tried to create a similar feeling to
Trends & The Future
The discipline of graphic design and its future has been influenced by the advancement of emerging technology due to the numerous design possibilities it offers.
- Blender –
- Twinmotion –
- Marvelous Designer –
- Figma –
- ShapesVR – This program is effective for creating user interfaces specifically for VR, originally I was planning to use it however it would make the process more complicated without a reason as Figma has multiple options when it comes to exporting to Unity.
