This study examines the applicability of augmented reality software
and portfolio criteria ratings in developing professional portfolios for entry-
level apparel design and technical design positions. This study addresses
the different forms of showcasing and developing portfolios such as printed
hard-copied portfolios and the benefits of each format. Viewpoints of undergraduate
apparel design and development students are explored and the most
important skills to showcase for an entry-level job in the apparel industry are
determined. Undergraduates’ viewpoints of augmented reality (AR) technology
and its implications of being utilized in apparel portfolio were also
explored. The study reviews past and current literature on portfolio development
from other disciplines and relevant career skills sets. An online survey
was sent to participants. The data collected showed the students’ expectations
of professional portfolios. It also projected the intention of utilizing
augmented software in apparel portfolios.
