The Fashion, Technology and Sustainability Research Group (GUMTS) is oriented towards the research of new solutions in the fashion market, covering all aspects from the history of clothing to future applications in wearable devices that control the user's constants, always taking into account the sustainability of fabrics and production processes.
The lines of research that form part of this research group are as follows:
Technology: Definition of standards for "second skin" fabrics. Sensorisation and connectivity of garments for the creation of non-intrusive wearables through smart textiles with different fields of application, such as health or education.
The most important research projects within this research group:
The Tendam Sustainability Lab (TSL) is a synergistic partnership between the textile group TENDAM Retail, the University of Design, Innovation and Technology (UDIT) and the consultancy IDavinci.
Following ancient treaties, we will cultivate fine barrilla in different terrains of Huéscar and Castril (Granada), belonging to the UNESCO Geopark of Granada.
Based on multidisciplinary work, the design of the methodology for the digitisation of clothing links and maps out different functions that had not previously been brought together. Taking into account, throughout the process, aspects related to the technique of clothing and the technique of animation and 3D modelling, obtaining results with a higher quality than what is currently developed and which will allow its different applications.
The project contemplates a cascade methodology combined with user-centred design, so that at the technological level, sensors for each parameter to be measured will be added one by one, carrying out operational and reliability tests, but always taking the user into account when designing the interaction.
