ShoeRealism is established to support circular fashion by enriching materialities on digital objects to foster a detachment from physical possessions and prompt circular consumption. Served as an interactive service platform, ShoeRealism strives for an approachable way to make product take-back costless through transferring materialities of one's personal histories and memories to digital objects. Simultaneously, by providing a digital space for reflection, users will be encouraged to achieve optimized use of resources to tackle the problem at its roots.

Motivation
An RFID-embedded sensor synced with ShoeRealism apps records users' activities with the shoes allowing users to recall memories with the shoes. By presenting digital ownership, users are motivated to detach from their physical possessions.

Reflection
The reflective-centred in-app components are targeted to provide a digital space for reflection. By simulating the shoe cabinet, users can grab a better understanding of their consumption status that prompts optimized use of resources.

To achieve the goal, it strives for approachable ways to make product take-back costless, strengthen the linkage between purchase and product take-back, and diversify products and services to fulfil self-expression.
