University of the Arts London's London College of Fashion (UAL LCF) will be housed at the new East Bank campus (2023). UAL at East Bank will form part of a new powerhouse for research, innovation, creativity and learning through a novel collaboration between world-leading universities, cultural bodies, and local communities.UAL's new campus will provide a specialist VP/XR Lab facility for collaborative research, industry-partnered R&D, PGR study, and ECR opportunities. UAL, via its Fashion Textiles and Technology Institute (FTTI) at East Bank, will create capacity for innovative, transdisciplinary, practice-led research in VP/XR textiles and dress.To address this specialist field, the university will convene a unique range of technical craft and digital expertise across UAL's constituent Colleges, Institutes and Research Centres, also including the Creative Computing Institute (CCI), the Centre of Fashion Curation, the Performing Dress Lab, the Fashion and Innovation Agency (FIA), and the London College of Communication (LCC). The specialist VP/XR laboratory will drive forward an ambitious research agenda, and build capacity to meet wide ranging sector needs, supporting significant growth potential for the UK's creative and cultural economy. UAL VP/XR facilities will: Provide prototyping opportunities, to identify textiles and dress research that will build HEI and industry capability through collaboration and skills development.Expand current research expertise, defining processes to question, and ensure technical craft and digital practices.Grow future capacity through PGR provision and novel PG course design, in technical craft and digital skills. Connect to a new generation of students, embedding UAL's reputation for practical application and industry-ready study.Establish provision using integrated support, with training provided for existing UAL technical teams. The opportunity to enable digital access to historical textile and dress archives, and potentially monetise these assets as they move into screen and real-time spaces is as yet unrealised. Cultural institutions such as the V&A and RSC are seeking to explore new opportunities to create novel content and monetise existing assets via: Virtual depiction of heritage textiles and dress and new experiences for visitors (e.g. enabling the virtual 'try-on' garments and costume) Heritage/and archive-informed clothed characters in hybrid live performancesAesthetically enhanced depictions of the moving clothed body in immersive and live performance environments, gaming, screen, and wider cultural and commercial contexts Digital archival dress and costume as a form of personal expression in the virtual worldCreation of textile and dress-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Exploration of these possibilities will create new markets for the creative and cultural sectors, driving the build of skills to serve them. However, UK-wide research-led capacity and skills in this field are limited, hindering access and advanced development beyond traditionally associated practices and disciplines, which UAL VP/XR facilities will address.

伦敦艺术大学伦敦时装学院 (UAL LCF) 将设在东岸新校区（20​​23 年）。 UAL 东岸分校将通过世界领先大学、文化机构和当地社区之间的新颖合作，成为研究、创新、创造力和学习的新动力中心的一部分。UAL 的新校区将为协作提供专业的 VP/XR 实验室设施。研究、行业合作研发、PGR 研究和 ECR 机会。 UAL 将通过位于东岸的时尚纺织品与技术研究所 (FTTI)，为 VP/XR 纺织品和服装领域的创新、跨学科、以实践为主导的研究创造能力。为了解决这一专业领域的问题，该大学将召集一系列独特的研究人员UAL 各学院、研究所和研究中心的技术工艺和数字专业知识，还包括创意计算研究所 (CCI)、时尚策展中心、表演服装实验室、时尚与创新机构 (FIA) 和伦敦传媒学院（LCC）。专业的 VP/XR 实验室将推动雄心勃勃的研究议程，并建设能力以满足广泛的行业需求，支持英国创意和文化经济的巨大增长潜力。 UAL VP/XR 设施将： 提供原型设计机会，确定纺织品和服装研究，通过协作和技能开发来建立 HEI 和行业能力。扩展当前的研究专业知识，定义问题流程，并确保技术工艺和数字实践。发展未来通过提供 PGR 和新颖的 PG 课程设计，提高技术工艺和数字技能方面的能力。与新一代学生建立联系，树立 UAL 在实际应用和行业就绪研究方面的声誉。利用综合支持建立规定，并为现有 UAL 技术团队提供培训。实现对历史纺织品和服装档案进行数字访问，并在这些资产进入屏幕和实时空间时将其货币化的机会尚未实现。 V&A 和 RSC 等文化机构正在寻求探索新的机会，通过以下方式创造新颖的内容并通过现有资产货币化： 虚拟描绘传统纺织品和服饰以及为游客提供新体验（例如实现虚拟“试穿”服装和服装）混合现场表演中的传统/和档案信息服装角色在沉浸式和现场表演环境、游戏、屏幕和更广泛的文化和商业环境中对移动的服装身体进行美学增强的描述数字档案服装和服装作为虚拟世界中个人表达的一种形式创建基于纺织品和服装的不可替代代币（NFT）。对这些可能性的探索将为创意和文化部门创造新的市场，推动为其服务的技能建设。然而，英国范围内该领域的研究主导能力和技能有限，阻碍了传统相关实践和学科之外的获取和高级发展，而 UAL VP/XR 设施将解决这些问题。
