The World University of Design (WUD), through its Fashion Communication Design program, collaborated with immersive-technology leader Yologram to explore AR/VR applications for fashion in gaming. The initiative began with an address by Mr. Aditya Mani (Founder & CEO of Yologram), who introduced students to opportunities for fashion in virtual ecosystems. Interdisciplinary teams, including Fashion Communication and Gaming/Animation students, utilized Yologram tools to conceptualize virtual products, brand environments, and phygital merchandise (integrating CLO3D with real apparel). Their work covered spatial storytelling, avatar identity, and digital asset development for the Metaverse. The project culminated in a high-level event at the India International Centre on November 21, 2025, featuring two panel discussions with industry leaders (including Mr. Alok Lall, for former COO, Microsoft India) on the future of virtual commerce, gaming, and fashion integration.
