With quantified self a whole movement of self-monitoring and self-optimization have emerged. The textile and clothing industry has started to incorporate this trend. Smart textiles, smart clothes and wearable elec- tronics are on the market today. Probably due to a techni- cal impression these gadgets do not experience a general acceptance. Creating a striking fashion statement linked with wear- able electronics has not been expolited yet. Augmented Reality (AR) is a promising trend, which might close this gap. Thinking garment in connection with AR contents an innovative type of fashion statement can be set. A statement in a form of an augmented sensory experience beyond all conventional practices is aimed. coaches: PROF. DR. MARINA-E. WACHS, PROF. DR. rer. nat.

Bio mimetic refers to the transfer of intelligent strategies from nature to technology. Smart textiles, with enhanced functionality, are getting to green smarts under bionic properties with sustainability criteria. In this work, the sur- face texture of fi sh scales and their mechanical properties are transferred onto a technical textile by simulation. The innovation is Haute Tech: A high-tech textile construction of a multi-layer leather hybrid with functionalized surface. Haute Tech is quilted with an electrically-conductive yarn with photovoltaic properties. The power supply is tex- tile-based and can be integrated into outdoor clothing and ski fashion. It also provides an application to microsystems in the dashboard or steering wheel of e-cars. The dichroma- tic scale leather surface with refl ective properties alternates multi-coloured. The volume-making wool fl eece in between and the third neoprene layer offer excellent air entrapment and supply protection against impact and injury. COACH: PROF. DR. MARINA-E.
