The Seamless Blend - Digital Textile Dialogues

S2 Ep6: Can we trust digital materials?

Jorgen Sevild & Gabrielle Shiner-Hill Season 2 Episode 6

In this episode of The Seamless Blend, Gabby and Jørgen explore one of the biggest questions in the world of Digital Product Creation (DPC): Can we trust digital materials? They dive into the reasons why trust in digital materials might be lacking and what’s preventing full confidence in these technologies.

They discuss side-by-side comparisons of physical and digital materials, arguing that these two should work together as complementary forces. With insights from researchers Douglas Atkinson and Bruna Petreca, the hosts explore the concept of "feeling" materials and how we perceive textiles through touch and experience. They also examine the balance between technical accuracy and perceptual trust in fabric digitisation.

Tune in for an in-depth look at the hardware, software, and validation methods that influence our trust in digital materials.
