Abstract
Wearable technology is a growing field at the intersection of fashion and technology. Apparel and technology designers are unsure of how best to merge the strengths of their independent fields to create products that can be easily integrated into an individual’s lifestyle. The aim of this research is to create a conceptual framework that combines functional apparel design values with interaction design values in a model that could theoretically be used inter-disciplinary for the future development of wearable technology products. Project-based research was conducted to create a wearable technology prototype that explored the potential of a multifunctional and technologically enabled knitted garment. The framework was developed using the findings from this process with an emphasis on user centered design techniques.
