Ubi-Fashion stands for Ubiquitous Fashion Coordination system which coordinates clothing based on the characteristics of upper and lower garments such as color, fabric and style. It also incorporates an individual's schedule and environmental data such as temperature and humidity when coordinating the garments to find the best clothing for the day in terms of design and purpose.

As proof of a concept prototype, Ubi-Fashion has been realized as an Ubi-Fashion Mirror in the UFC (Ubiquitous Fashion Competition) 2007. The mirror enables garments to interact with each other so that they can exchange the characteristics of our clothing. The system inside of the mirror collects schedules and weather information in real time and transfers it to the mirror to find the best coordination for the day.

We believe that Ubi-Fashion can help people choose their clothing based on TOP (Time, Occasion and Purpose). We also believe that it can be used to help people those who are visually impaired. Another possible application of Ubi-Fashion is to check appropriate garments or tools in industries and health care area (e.g., to make sure if a person wears an antistatic device in a semi-conductor manufacturing factory).
