Neo-Metamorphosis

Neo-Metamorphosis is an origami-inspired digital fashion show that includes 6 looks made with photogrammetric origami. With the use of the 3D image-based photogrammetry technique, the handmade origami was captured and turned into digital replicas. In the 3D software interface, the digitized origami was draped onto the digital body to create a digital fashion show that presents a sensational and visual experience. This work aims to explore the potential in transformative materiality and look into the future of digital fashion.
