An international, interdisciplinary group of fashion historians and makers, informatics and metadata specialists, and digital media experts from Drexel University, Seoul National University, the University of New South Wales, Australia, the Fulbright Foundation and the Controlled Vocabulary Working Group of the Costume Society of America are researching production and conservation of new media for exhibition of historic fashion. Our team has created prototype 3D interactive media that will allow the viewer to be an active participant in the exhibition of historic fashion. Rich metadata descriptions of these media ensure their persistent discovery, access and conservation.
