Our co-located social relationships are changing with the adoption of new technologies. Augmented Reality (AR) performed on clothing can bridge the gap between our online social media and our face-to-face interactions. We propose a new system composed of an online application that generates a personalized and artistic design for the userĀ»s clothing based on personal interests. We also present an AR application to explore this social design and improve icebreaking interactions and connections between strangers in community settings and social gatherings.
