Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a similarity evaluation method between virtual and actual clothing.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper analyzes the subjective and objective evaluation results of virtual and actual clothing.
Findings
In this paper, significant factors affecting the evaluation of similarity between actual and virtual clothing have been found.
Research limitations/implications
Evaluation experiment was performed only for a skirt. However, the method can be easily applied for other types of garments.
Practical implications
The evaluation of similarity between actual and virtual garment will be facilitated.
Social implications
The garment design process can be facilitated by simulating garments in virtual space.
Originality/value
There has not been any quantitative evaluation method for the similarity of virtual and actual garment.
