Designing for intimacy
Cindy Jacob, Bruno Dumas · 2014
This position paper discusses how computer science and fashion design can gracefully enrich each other to address privacy, non-invasiveness and non-disruptiveness issues. A use case providing intimate, remote communication for a couple is described, as well as potential tracks to solve this use case from a technological as well as fashion design points of view. We show that fashion designers closely collaborating with computer scientists can help address complex issues such as privacy when integrating smart garments together.
