Fabric System Final Prototype Description
Fabric Storage System
The fabric storage system by Manfred Au and Janice Leung is an interactive system designed for the fabric retail stores in Hong Kong, where heavy rolls of fabric are usually piled on the shelves or lined up in rows against the wall. The system does not only turn the originally inconvenient and painstaking process of handling fabric into a fun and interactive experience, but also creates aesthetic value to the shop environment.
Inside the store, units of fabric storage systems are mounted on the walls, forming an array of fabric rolls that creates a variety of color and texture in the interior of the shop. When the systems move, they become moving texture walls that interact with users.
The motion of the system depends on the user’s proximity and hand gestures. As the user draws near, the system slows down to give a better view of the fabric. With simple hand gestures, the user can control the system to stop, turn in different directions, or rolling the fabric in / out.
