The development and the wearability assessment of cliff: an automatized zipper

Cliff is a project which aims to develop an automatized zipper for the zipping and unzipping process. It is a response to the struggle by the elderly, people with physical disabilities and, ladies who have problems zipping back-zipper dresses. An iterative research through design approach was applie...
