Abstract

This paper aims to model a 3D mannequin wearing a novel multifunctional electronic-textile backpack. To achieve this goal, a human mannequin is initially created using MakeHuman software involving innovative anthropometric databases. Then, the multi-propose virtual 3D backpack is equipped a mini solar panel, a battery charging circuit, a battery, two microcontrollers (Arduino Uno and ESP32 WROOM-32), DC voltage regulator modules (XL6009 IC), geolocation devices, weight controller sensor, MPU6050 sensor, a testing Smartphone with software application developed via Thunkable. etc. Finally, the overall platform is implemented and well visualized under Blender software, as an innovative virtual 3D studio for multifunctional solar Backpack.
