Students will immerse themselves in the innovative world of code and smart textiles for the entertainment industry, where clothing, costume, and technology merge to enhance storytelling, interactivity, and audience engagement. They will investigate how sensors, programmable LEDs, haptic feedback, and motion tracking can be integrated into garments, sets or props to respond dynamically to movement, sound, or game events. Design solutions will showcase how code, technology and textiles can work together to transform entertainment experiences.
This semester, students are guided by the provocation:
Students will apply user-centred design principles to determine how wearables can enhance performance, convey emotion, or create interactive experiences. They will explore textile integration, electronics coding, power management, and interface design, ensuring creations remain functional, comfortable, and visually striking under stage lights or within virtual environments.
Career Highlights and City Skylights.
Assessment is through a design folio, a practical prototype that showcases their wearable concept and examination.
