Abstract

The analysis of the specific needs of the deaf community shows that during the motion of the hands, sign language speaking people require significantly more freedom in their clothing compared to hearing people. Therefore, our topic relates to the development an adaptive clothing with high wearing comfort for sign language speaking people based on the latest technical solutions in the field of clothing design. Typical sign language gestures were scanned with a high-performance MOVE4D scanner and the obtained data was automatically processed to investigate changes in the sizes of body parts during motion. The resulting dynamic measurements were used to create an ergonomic pattern construction, which was evaluated using virtual modeling. Moreover, based on the newest developed methodology, the impact of style and material parameters on the garment pressure was investigated. After analysis, the optimization of an pattern construction was carried out in the selected garment piece.
