Physan is currently collaborating with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to create the Avatar Platform, which builds 3D models of people that can then be digitally clothed and animated. They plan to integrate the ObjectVRs into interactive, 3D panoramas of historic spaces and research what is learned by the visitor from this virtual environment. Produced with GigaPan technology, rich metadata descriptions of these media, mapped to current standards of archiving, ensure their persistent discovery, access and conservation via iDEA, the digital repository of the Drexel Libraries Group. Martin's team has also created prototype 3D interactive media, OBJECTVR, that allow the viewer to be an active participant in the exhibition of historic fashion.

Professors Kathi Martin and Jaeyoon Jeong will be integrating the software with the Fashion Design curriculum and will also apply it to the graduate work with the Drexel Digital Museum Project, an international, interdisciplinary group of researchers focused on production, conservation and dissemination of new media for exhibition of historic fashion that collaborates with Drexel’s College of Computing and Informatics, the College Arts & Sciences, the iDEA E-Repository, and the Fox Historic Costume Collection Seoul National University the University of New South Wales, Australia the Fulbright Foundation and the Costume Society of America. DCS is utilized by the industry to create and simulate fashion design on a virtual model, creating savings in costs and freeing up time for designers to explore and create.

The Fashion Design Program has recently acquired the Digital Clothing Suite (DCS), several new state of the art 3D fashion design computer programs from Professor Hyeong-Seok Ko, Director of the Digital Clothing Center in the Graphic and Media Laboratory, Seoul National University, and the Physan company.
