This paper aims to present the conceptual development of a project in the field of fashion design that brings Augmented Reality (AR) as a means to integrate technology and cultural sustainability over the interface of a fashion product. From the printed pattern, this technology is proposed to improve the interaction between the artifact and people. The Portuguese tiles were chosen as an inspiration for the patterns because they have a symbolic load that promotes the cultural heritage of this country. Design Thinking was the methodology chosen, in which the stages of immersion, analysis and synthesis, ideation and prototyping were carried out. As result, it was developed the graphic representation (mockup) of the designed textile pattern, the reading points for AR and the type of information to be presented through a mobile application. Technologies such as AR show potential to enhance user’s experience and this project discusses new possibilities toward its application into interactive textile patterns.
