To reduce waste, a team, including researchers in @MITEECS, developed a program that helps users create outlines for adaptable clothing, such as pants that can be reconfigured into a dress. Each of these pieces can be replaced, rearranged, or restyled. news.mit.edu/2025/refashion-…

Presenting Texergy at #uist2025 ! We explore on-body passive actuation whose entire end-to-end system can be integrated into the clothing. Texergy does this by “powering” the actuation with the user themselves mechanically in a programmable manner.
