School Uniform Customization Design Platform Based on Virtual Display Technology

Abstract

The current school uniform customization mode cannot satisfy the requirements of customers regarding the elements such as design and efficiency, though the demand for the customization of the school uniform industry in China is gradually expanding. In this study, a school uniform customization platform was established based on virtual display technology to improve the efficiency and experience of school uniform customization. This study was applied with four steps. In the first part, interviews on school uniform customization were conducted following grounded theory to obtain information on the specific demand for design, process, and supply. In the second and third parts, a uniform design database with a 3D virtual effect and a uniform customization platform with three subsystems were built under the consideration of the requirements identified. This platform allowed users to change the style, color, fabric, details, and other elements of school uniforms in the system, generate 3D virtual renderings of school uniforms, and contact suppliers in the system. Afterward, the customized platform was tested and scored through a real-use situation in the fourth part. The results demonstrated that the average score was more than 3 out of 5 points, indicating that the customized design platform can meet the needs of users.
