What is it about?

This study explores the Metaverse’s potential in designing trade-fair stands for showcasing textile products, with a focus on upholstery fabrics. It aims to enhance manufacturer-customer relations through virtual environments, aligning with Industry 5.0 principles. Using Spatial.io and its Unity-based Spatial Toolkit, a virtual stand was developed despite platform constraints, integrating a texture selector for dynamic fabric visualization. Tested at the 2024 Habitat Fair in Valencia, the results highlight the Metaverse’s promise in advancing the textile sector.

Why is it important?

This study explores the potential of the Metaverse in designing trade-fair stands for the exhibition of products and services related to the textile sector, with a particular focus on upholstery fabrics. The primary aim is to enhance relations between manufacturers and customers by leveraging virtual environments.

Perspectives

The course of future research is to continue exploring the application of these technologies and insights to other industrial sectors, such as ceramics and furniture. Additionally, there is potential to enhance the role of MV in training and education functions, as well as in industrial improvement, in the field of sustainability and the environment. We consider their application in companies dedicated to the manufacturing of stands as very feasible. These technologies also hold great promise for companies to offer new, more eco-friendly, and sustainable services to their current clients.
