Avery Dennison and NRVLD showcase T-shirts with AR experience

Avery Dennison, a leader in materials science and digital identifications solutions, has completed a project with NRVLD, a community-based agency comprising artists, technologists and media personalities who are passionate about disruptive innovation.

Avery Dennison created limited edition augmented reality T-shirts worn by the NRVLD Executive Team during ‘NRVLD’, an immersive event held during Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2023.

The 30 T-shirts were digitally connected via heat transfers featuring a QR code and image recognition. Visitors were transported to an immersive artwork metaverse, built by ARkivist. In addition to the AR experience, each garment was personalized with the wearer's contact details embedded in the NFC woven patch on the chest, providing a connection point for guests throughout the event. Both connected garment experiences were powered by Avery Dennison’s atma.io connected product cloud.

Epson stellt mit der Moverio BT-45-Reihe die neueste Generation seiner Augmented Reality (AR)-Brillen für Fernwartung (Remote Assistance), Arbeitsablaufschulungen und Trainings speziell im industriellen Umfeld vor. Das Unternehmen erweitert sein Portfolio zu einem Zeitpunkt, zu dem Augmented Reality Technologien ein rasantes Wachstum vorausgesagt wird.

Mithilfe der Epson Moverio können sich Mitarbeitende vor Ort mit technischen Expert:innen an entfernten Standorten vernetzen und Informationen sowie Anleitungen per direkter Kommunikation in beide Richtungen visuell und verbal austauschen und übermitteln. Mit der Brille kann freihändig gearbeitet werden und damit direkt auf die Anweisungen des Gegenübers reagiert werden. Auf diese Weise lassen sich komplexe technische Probleme lösen, Reparatur und Wartung unterstützen und Schulungen vor Ort vereinfachen. Zu den Vorteilen für Unternehmen, die AR-Smart Glasses verwenden, gehören unter anderem schnellere Reaktionszeiten, höhere Quoten von Schadensbehebung schon beim ersten Versuch, Produktivitätssteigerung, geringere Reisekosten und eine damit verbundene Senkung von CO2-Emissionen sowie ein wesentlich angenehmeres Arbeiten bei gleichzeitig erhöhter Kundenzufriedenheit.

Elleti and Itema at Première Vision in Milan

Elleti Group, an Italian manufacturer specialized in denim treatments and garment making, will present an innovative approach: how we experience denim and its transformation processes.

Elleti Group, an Italian manufacturer specialized in denim treatments and garment making, will present an innovative approach: how we experience denim and its transformation processes.

Elleti Group will display its “Green Replicants” project in a new and improved “Lighter. Better. Wiser.” edition.  This project, inaugurated a few years ago, recreates some of the iconic pieces from the Elleti Group Museum of Denim (dating back to the 19th century) with today’s most advanced environmentally sustainable technologies. This special edition replicas are fully developed using the latest addition to the sustainable tools of the company: the “Wiser Wash” technology, a patented washing method that eliminates the use of all potentially harmful chemicals and pumice stone, while drastically reducing the water consumption throughout the process.
 
Moreover, at the Immaterial M.O.D.E. booth, a special project designed by Denim Première Vision and realized in collaboration with Elleti Group and Sense – Immaterial Reality will take visitors through an Augmented Reality installation to explore a selection of legendary pieces from M.O.D.E., Museum of Denim by Elleti Group. By downloading the app, available on every digital store, on your phone or tablet and looking out for the signage on site, unique denim masterpieces will be at everyone’s fingertips.

Itema, a worldwide manufacturer of weaving solutions, will be for the first time at the Denim Première Vision fair. The company is renowned in the industry to be one of the only manufacturers to produce all the top three weft insertion technologies – rapier, air-jet and projectile.

The company will highlight the iSAVER® technology: designed by Itemalab®, the Itema advanced innovation company. Thanks to iSAVER®, one thousand kilos of cotton per loom a year will be saved – i.e. 3% of total raw materials – which will prevent wasting 20 million litres of water, while saving costs for about €2.000 a year on each loom. iSAVER® significantly contributes in making the denim production greener.
