Developed by Prof. Calvin Wong and his team, the Artificial Intelligence-based Interactive Design Assistant for Fashion (AiDF) empowers novices and experts to work with AI for generating ranges of original fashion designs speedily, based on their personal creative inspirations.

Dr Kit-lun Yick and her team utilise the “4D Body Scanning Lab” to capture the dynamic movement data, facilitating ergonomic design of functional apparels and wearables.


Founded jointly by PolyU and the Royal College of Art, UK, the Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence in Design (AiDLab) was officially launched on 4 November as one of the multiple research centres within the InnoHK research clusters.

As the region’s first research platform that focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with creative design, AiDLab brings together top international academics, designers and engineers to conduct human-centred interdisciplinary research providing multi-faceted solutions for current global issues using AI and distinct innovative designs.

AiDLab is currently working on 22 projects in three areas, including ergonomic and inclusive design, innovation in product and service design as well as intelligent fashion design and quality control. One of the new technologies at AiDLab is the artificial intelligence-based interactive design assistant, which could help fashion designers produce a dozen templates within 10 seconds.
