Computer 5G Virtual Reality Environment 3D Clothing Design

With the increasing computing power of computer hardware and the continuous development of Internet technology, it has become possible to sell clothing online. In this context, virtual clothing shops and fitted clothing have also started to appear online and people have a new platform to choose their clothing. In the development of the clothing industry, e-tailoring will become a new trend, and if we look at the clothing industry as a whole, e-tailoring is bound to develop rapidly, as it is now difficult for people to find clothes they are happy with on the shelves. However, many clothing shops on online platforms are now able to provide a more limited service to people, making it difficult for consumers to buy the right clothes for them, and the situation of returns is more serious. So many consumers are still more willing to buy clothes in the physical shop; if we can use the virtual reality environment of three-dimensional clothing design, consumers in the online clothing shop can freely choose their favorite clothing, and then the selected clothing considers the proposed wear in accordance with the size of the consumer production of the human body virtual model to observe the three-dimensional effect so that consumers can choose more suitable clothing. This paper mainly studies the 3D clothing design method in the computer 5G virtual reality environment. In the context of the computer 5G era, this article discusses the characteristics of virtual reality technology in detail and proposes a modeling method for 3D clothing design based on virtual reality. Based on the research status of 3D clothing design at home and abroad, this paper further studies the construction of clothing virtual design and designs and realizes the functions of character virtual modeling, clothing virtual modeling, and accessory virtual modeling. According to the defects of the existing 3D clothing design, a more mature three-dimensional clothing design method based on actual needs is developed. This paper analyzes the 3D clothing design process in detail through demand analysis; constructs the system functional block diagram, system architecture diagram, style customization flowchart, database table, etc.; designs the 3D clothing design module; and designs the main clothing and portraits—part of the modeling. Experimental studies have found that as long as ∣ Z ∣ > 0.042547 is satisfied, the clothing and the human body part can be prevented from crossing when the clothing matches the human body. In this article, in order to prevent large deviations in the garment stitching process, if it is the front piece of the garment, take Z = 0.06 . If it is the back film, take Z = − 0.06 . Virtual reality technology-assisted clothing design has become a new model of computer-aided clothing design, which has successfully promoted the transformation of enterprise employment forms and the improvement of enterprise production efficiency. The percentages of the left neck point, right neck point, left hip point, and right hip point in the human feature points were 15%, 23%, 31%, and 31%, respectively.

The results of the F test, the significant value of F, which is 0.000 less than 0.050 and Fcount is greater than Ftable, the value of Fcount> Ftable, namely (31.736> 1.65685) and (sig α = 0.000 <0.050). From the results of data processing, it can be concluded that all variables of location, promotion, and price perception simultaneously have a significant effect on the dependent variable, namely the purchase decision. Apart from that, from the results of the linear regression test, the equation for the regression is as follows: Y = 1.648 + 0.394 X1 + 0.266 X2 + 0.287X3.

中?O2O的服?品??消?者再使用意?的影?的?究 -以服????例-

Currently, many clothing brands have started to open their own apps, with unified prices and the styles of clothing between online and offline. Apparel companies use their own apps to enhance communication with customers, push all kinds of wanted information and discount information to customers according to their needs. Customers can also use mobile apps to check their favorite clothing. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship among several factors including online APP service quality, offline service quality, and analysis of satisfaction and reuse intention based on the TAM model. This study investigated 512 consumers who had used O2O to purchase clothing. For the data analysis, the SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 program were used and various statistical techniques were used including frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Second-order confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, mediation effect analysis, and regulation effect analysis. The results of this paper are as follows: First, APP service quality has a positive impact on usefulness and ease of use. Second, the quality of offline services has a positive impact on usefulness and ease of use. In the relationship between usefulness and satisfaction, the innovation tendency showed a significant moderating effect, and it was verified that the innovation tendency increased the positive influence of the usefulness and satisfaction. The higher the consumer’s inclination to innovate, the higher the perceived usefulness of O2O services. In addition, the moderating effect of familiarity was verified in the relationship between usability and satisfaction. The higher the familiarity of consumers, the lower the usability of O2O service.

The relationship between brand Facebook page characteristics, perceived value, and customer engagement behavior: An application of Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R)

Purpose – With the advancement of technology and increased use of social media, brands have become part of the virtual world and try to grab customers’ attention. Brand pages enable the consumer to voluntarily participate in providing feedback and ideas and to collaborate with others . T his adds value to the firm. This research explores which characteristics help clothing brands to influence consumers in to responding in the form of feedback, collaboration, and mobilization. Design/methodology/approach – D ata were collected from 250 respondents who had purchased their favorite clothing brand in the last four months , using five-point Likert scale questionnaires. Partial least square s structural equation model ing (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data . Findings – The results indicate that content quality leads to brand learning values and hedonic values. C ustomer contact quality only affects brand learning value. Both hedonic and brand learning value s induce customer engagement behaviors. Originality/value – This study provides useful insights for clothing brand web page managers related to customer engagement in social media. The study extends the concept of customer engagement behavior (CEB) by incorporating consumer “mobilizing behavior” as an additional element of CEB.

3D modeling design and rapid style recommendation of polo shirt based on interactive genetic algorithm

This paper proposes a design method for personalized 3D modeling and a rapid style recommendation of polo shirts based on interactive genetic algorithms. Through the research on the parametric multi-style design method of polo shirts, this paper proposes 3D design methods such as the conversion of 3D models, component splicing, and stripes matching mapping rules. In addition, we establish a coded component library of style parts and striped designs to realize the component modeling of tailor-made styles for polo shirts. Besides, the Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA) is introduced in the article. Through the algorithm coding, initial population generation, selection, using the scoring mechanism to obtain the user’s suitability evaluation of the program, crossover, and mutation, etc., gradually generating a user-satisfied polo shirt style model design plan, a personalized rapid style recommendation of the user-oriented polo shirt is established. This system can present tailored polo shirt style for customers, and WYSIWYG, to find the most favorite clothing styles for customers and lower the threshold of clothing design expertise.

Education, Childhood and Anarchism: Talking Colin Ward by Catherine Burke and Ken Jones, eds.

 2014 Children, Youth and Environments Children, Youth and Environments 24(2), 2014 Education, Childhood and Anarchism: Talking Colin Ward Catherine Burke and Ken Jones, eds. (2014). New York: Routledge, 233 pages. $145.00 USD (hardback). ISBN 978-0-415-82060-8. I was raised bare-foot and skinned-kneed on the shores of Lake Huron. A child of the seventies, my favorite clothes were hand-embroidered smocks and yellow plaid bell-bottoms with cartoon chicks hatching from eggs. I learned free-form weaving, collected shells and pine cones, and had a wild childhood at the edge of the woods. When I first read Roger Hart’s 1978 descriptions of rural Vermont children’s lives in Children’s Experience of Place, it was as if they were my own. And yet missing from his stories of children, missing from my own narrative, were the deeper meanings of that same time period of childhood. Somewhere in the world, I knew, important things were happening. Liberation. Anarchy. Civil Rights. Reading the anthology of Colin Ward, my own experience came together for me in the context of the time. What Colin Ward offers through his writings, and what this compilation brings together, are the ways children experience not only physical spaces but also the social and power relations that occur in these spaces, and how children and professionals are still striving to break down these barriers, to integrate children into city spaces and decision-making. Today we have insurgent public spaces that adults create in response to unsupportive policies or designs. These places rarely exist for children. Yet children ask to make a difference, to be part of something larger, to make their mark and to have that mark vary in time and place and season, to “create pockets of disorder” (200) in which children’s play resists an adult-driven world. This collection of essays will appeal to professionals and academics interested in the design of spaces that support and integrate children, and for those who promote the participation of children in planning and design. This volume deepens Colin Ward’s discourse in The Child in the City and Streetwork: the Exploding School (with Anthony Fyson), weaving together both historic and contemporary explorations of children in the city. The volume is carved into four sections that each assemble interdisciplinary chapters on architecture, history, urban geography, landscape design, political theory and education Several chapters are particularly helpful in informing contemporary work to create vibrant, integrated projects that promote children as active agents and actors within city space and city discourse. Pallawi Sinha and Catherine Burke’s chapter combines reflective practice from Colin Ward’s own Streetwork with contemporary explorations and methodological approaches to understanding children’s experience of New Delhi that have great relevance to practitioners and academics alike. Myrna Margulies Breitbart’s chapter explores Colin Ward’s contribution to radical pedagogy Book Review: Education, Childhood and Anarchism: Talking Colin Ward 253 through explorations of children’s rights to the city, to their own desires, and to actions for insurgent public space in city streets. Her chapter, as well as Stuart Lester’s, explore play as protest and as hopeful action, both comparing Colin Ward’s thinking with that of Henri Lefebvre, who “shared the belief that social transformation can come through small-scale experimentation” through temporary explorations and play. Lester articulates how “the act of playing involves the creation of disturbance and disorder... and in so doing generates an air of excitement” that in itself has value. Formal planning efforts dismiss the value of these processes for children (and adults) and in so doing, fail to promote the once radical, and still not mainstream, idea of citizen participation. Chapters by Rosie Parnell and Maria Patsarika and by Barry Percy-Smith develop new ways of thinking about authentic and playful participation in design and planning that support rather than discount children’s ideas of participation. Roger Hart reminds us that participation is central in cultivating citizenship, with children having opportunities to discuss issues and learn from each other as well as from adults. Contemporary literature about child-friendly cities suggests the need and imperative for the same integration of children into cities and society...

Congruence Relationship between Favorite Clothing Image and Self-Concept for Female University Students

Congruence Relationship between Favorite Clothing Image and Self-Concept for Female University Students

청소년의 성역할 정체감이 자아존중감과 의복행동 및 선호 의복이미지에 미치는 영향 -청소년의 성과 연령에 따른 비교분석을 중심으로-

The purpose of this study was to exam the effects of gender-role identity on adolescents' self esteem, clothing behaviors and favorite clothing image, focusing on analysis by adolescent' sex and age variable. The research method was survey and the subjects were 447 male and female adolescents in Daejeon, Korea. The questionnaire consisted of 4 measurement instruments (gender-role identity, self-esteem, clothing behaviors, and favorite clothing image) and subject' demographic attributions. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, test, t-test, ANOVA(analysis of variance), Duncan's multiple range test, and Pearson's correlation analysis, using SPSS program. The results are as follows. First, adolescents' gender-role identity and self- esteem were different by age rather than sex. Middle school students were represented by undifferentiated type while high school students were represented by androgynous type, and high school students had higher self-esteem than middle school students. Second, four factors emerged on clothing behaviors(clothing interest & psychological dependence, ostentation, conformity, and comfort), and favorite clothing image(characteristic, neat, active, and romantic image). Third, gender-role identity had important effects on self esteem; androgynous type had higher self esteem than other gender-role identity type. Forth, self-esteem had significant relationship with clothing behaviors and favorite clothing image, and these relationships were different by adolescent' sex and age variable. Fifth, gender-role identity had important effects on clothing behaviors; and rogynous type had more clothing interest, ostentation and comfort than any other gender-role identity type. Sixth, gender-role identity had important effects on favorite clothing images; androgynous type pursued more various clothing images than any other gender-role identity type.

Christmas in New Orleans

Picture Santa’s sled with a rolling kitchenette attached and you have some idea about the size of a FEMA trailer. I came across a yard of them when I got lost on the highway near Baton Rouge, where most of my family evacuated out of New Orleans. The trailers are not the double-wides I imagined—but some are festooned with lights and an artificial Christmas tree outside the door as in a Bobbie Ann Mason short story. A FEMA trailer is more like a camper that you’d attach with a hitch to your four-wheeler when you want to get out of the city for the weekend. Tiny, but nonetheless a gift. As the rest of the country, children and adults alike, envision Christmas with piles of presents from their favorite electronic and clothing stores, the people of the Katrina diaspora are waking up daily with thoughts of clean underwear, one comfortable chair and not being home for the holidays. But they are trying to make it. In the town of Baker, the trailers sit row after incalculable row on a dusty field isolated from the sleepy community. Baker is a town where Main Street sits along the railroad tracks and leads from the interstate past the chemical plant and the playground to the church and two roads named Magnolia. An estimated 1,700 people live on the Baker plain. It is a good mile from any shopping or familiar community life. The FEMA park is named Renaissance Village, for the RVs as much as the hopes of their occupants.

Appearance Management as Border Construction: Least Favorite Clothing, Group Distancing, and Identity Not!1

Who we say we are and how we strive to look are but part of the negotiation of identity and appearance. While previous research has focused on the construction of who we are, in this paper we examine the negotiation of who we are not. We explore the vantage point and examine statements of identity not, questioning whether they allude to the mere antithesis of identity or to more complex identity ambivalences. Drawing from nearly 300 interviews, we question the primacy of master statuses and attempt to undo the binaries they support by illuminating salient cross‐cutting themes and by introducing descriptors to accompany the categories (age/temporality, gender/sexuality, ethnicity/intersecting cultural identities). In asking about least favorite clothes or about groups one avoids dressing like, we query not so much: What do clothes mean (or not mean)? Rather, we ask: How do we use clothes to negotiate tenuous, fragile, and elastic self/other, past/ present, and present/future relations?Like a barbed wire fence; Strung tight; Strung tense; Prickling with pretense; A borderline. Every income, every age, every fashion‐plated rage, every measure, every gauge, creates a borderline.
