Purpose: The aim of this study is to grasp domestic eyewear trends in 2008 with analyzing brands, types, materials, colors and styles of new eyewear products. Methods: Examined all new eyewear products which were on three magazines related with eyewear published in Korea; "안경계", "Eye 11" and "THE AXIS". Results: There are 103 companies, 182 brands in 3 magazines related eyewear published in 2008. There are 77 domestic brands and 105 imported brands, and there are 522 eyeglasses and 126 sunglasses. Material of eyeglasses make up 37.93% of combination frames, 33.14% of metal frames and 28.93% of plastic frames and material of sunglasses make up 50.79% of plastic frames, 30.95% of combination frames and 18.25% of metal frames. From a style point of view, there are lots of retro and casual styles which one can express one's individuality with. In terms of colors, basic colors such as black and gray are mainstream and pastel tones and vivid tones are mainly used as the point color. Conclusions: The results of analyzing new eyewear products show that many light and feeling good products such as thin plate frames, TR frames and thin plate-TR combination frames were released in case of domestic eyewear products. In case of imports, there are lots of simple Ti frames and acetate frames which were variety patterns and colors.

This study investigated the classification and characteristics of augmented reality (AR) content of fashion brands. The AR contents of fashion brands were classified according to user participation space and content delivery method. Based on these types, eight case studies were conducted, along with a discussion of AR characteristics in terms of presence, interactivity, and immersion. The results showed that AR content could be divided into four types: offline visit-external information type, offline visit-internal experience type, online utilization-external information type, and online utilization-internal experience type. It was also found that there were differences in characteristics for each type of AR content. First, the offline visit-external information type requires various new content that can provide entertainment immersion to users. Second, the offline visit-internal experience type requires a powerful inducement for users to visit a specific space providing AR content and to participate in augmented environments. Third, the online utilization-external information type needs a series of AR content that can consistently incite users' curiosity about brands and products. Fourth, the online utilization-internal experience type needs effective content to improve users' shopping experience with the virtual fitting of fashion accessories, such as eyewear, hats, jewelry, and watches. Accordingly, fashion companies should create contents that can provide appropriate presence, interactivity, and immersion by AR type.

Purpose: In this study, we evaluated the physical and thermal properties of the compositions made by blending glass fiber (GF) of different contents into glass fiber polyamide-66, and investigated if the compositions applying to the glasses frame to replace the TR-90, which is polyamide-12 resin used as an injection-type spectacle frame material. Methods: To investigate the characteristics change of polyamide-66 (PA-66) compositions with the change of the content of glass fibers, we produced a composition of the content by using a twin-screw extruder. The mechanical strength of the composition production was measured and coating properties as well as cutting processability were evaluated. We evaluated the applicability of the glasses frame by comparison the results of new compositions with characterizations of traditional TR. Results: For the results of the characterization of Polyamide-66/GF composition, we found that the higher increase of content of the glass fiber, the less mold shrinkage rate, and the mechanical strength was increased. Tensile strength increased from $498kg/cm^2$ for 0 wt% of the content of the glass fibers to $849kg/cm^2$ for 30 wt% of the content of the glass fibers. As a result of a coating evaluation, the strength of coating was 4B in the GF 5wt% and 5B, which was extremely good coating characteristics, in the over than GF 5 wt%. Conclusions: In case that 30 wt% of the glass fiber was blended, the mechanical strength was greatly improved, the hardness was increased, injection temperature increased due to increase of the viscosity, and the flow mark of the product may occur. The paint coating of PA-66 blended with glass fiber was all excellent. With general evaluating physical properties and workability properties it was determined that around 10 wt% of the content of the glass fibers was possible to apply a spectacle frame.
