Augmented reality (AR) technology has become a hot topic recently, thanks to the emergence of Pokemon GO. A new collection has been released that incorporates this technology into clothing. It was developed by Kailu Guan, a graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York. The collection, titled KG PROJECT, allows users to capture images of the garments with a smartphone or other digital device via a dedicated app, causing preset animations and patterns to appear on the garments. Specific screen-printed elements on the garments act as "triggers," which the app recognizes and activates. Printed polka dots come to life, spikes suddenly appear, and patterns appear and disappear. The diverse expressions offer a fresh 4D experience for the user. The pieces are made from suede, organic cotton, and wool, and Kylu explains that he wanted to express a combination of traditional and digital textiles.

The goal of KG PROJECT is to expand designers' self-expression and use AR technology to inspire consumers, and Kyle plans to further his research into wearable and AR technology.
