The results demonstrate the usefulness of the TDA approach using machine learning and network visualisation to explore and extract insight from user capability data. The machine learning approach shows promise for application in future Ergonomics/Human Factors studies that capture large multivariate data sets. The Better Design pilot study points the way to future large-scale data collection efforts with multiple sensory, cognitive and motor variables.

CAFD has been involved in research and development of Eco-Textiles, namely Pineapple and Banana textiles for over five (5) years.
