Sensory Stitches is a pioneering exhibition at Tai Kwun that redefines the limits of textile design through the power of artificial intelligence. This visionary project integrates AI-based gesture recognition with patented Polymeric Optical Fibers (POFs), creating a responsive textile system that transforms movement into art.

​

Visitors experience fashion that senses and reacts: deep learning and computer vision allow the textiles to interpret a rich vocabulary of gestures—such as “one,” “two,” “OK,” and “love”—instantly triggering vibrant, real-time color changes across the fabric. With a dedicated mobile app, guests can further personalize each display, selecting any hue from the RGB spectrum and shifting between lighting modes—from subtle fades to dramatic jumps—via seamless Bluetooth connection.

​

At its core, Sensory Stitches presents a curated collection of nine original photonic textile and fashion designs, inviting immersive engagement through touchless interaction, light, and motion. This patented innovation recasts textiles as adaptive, expressive interfaces for fashion, interiors, and even therapeutic applications, setting the stage for a new era of intelligent, human-centered design.
