Expertise in fashion technology is inherently interdisciplinary as it requires mastery of both fashion construction and of interactive technology systems, constructing wearables needs a greater interdisciplinary collaboration. Currently, designers and engineers are trained with distinct pedagogy, learning not just different skills but using different languages to describe their domains. However, constructing wearables requires designers and engineers to well understand and communicate with each other.
The Infinite eTextile toolkit supports interdisciplinary collaborations between engineers and designers in wearable design, acting as a shared understanding across disciplines. It facilitates efficient communication between designers and engineers, fostering seamless cooperation and driving innovation in the field of wearable technology.
