A Design Study on Virtual Fabric Assisted by Acoustic Digital Media

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the diversified development of the fashion industry and the growing emphasis on digital fashion, this study focuses on the cutting-edge field of multisensory virtual fabric design, exploring the potential of digital technologies to generate innovative virtual fashion. The research leverages three distinct sonic landscapes—deep-sea ambient noise, soil white noise, and technological pulse sounds—combined with C4D 3D modeling technology to construct immersive virtual fashion scenarios. These scenarios not only demonstrate the properties of eco-friendly materials such as deep-sea microalgae fiber, soil-impurity fiber, and metallic fiber but also highlight their unique aesthetic value. The paper begins with a comprehensive analysis of the current applications and future trends of virtual fashion, grounded in background research. It then elaborates on the extraction and visualization techniques for acoustic data, detailing their integration into the construction of virtual scenes and fabrics. By translating auditory inputs into visual and tactile design elements, the study bridges sound, material properties, and digital expression. The ultimate aim is to enhance public understanding of the relationship between the fashion industry and ecosystems through intuitive audiovisual experiences. The core objective is to use sound as a medium to scaffold scenarios, assist virtual fabric design, and propose a novel form of digital fashion expression rooted in sensory experiences.
