"I am excited to bring this medium to a public domain," he said.
"The Augmented Reality software picks up markers on the original T-shirt design through digital media like live video recording and digital cameras," he said.
The markers and designs were visible only through digital devices.
He describes the software as an overlaying mixture of real and virtual worlds.
Mr Taepa said creating the DIGI Maori collection had been a long process.
"Every step in the process takes a couple of days.
"It is not just the actual T-shirt design you are dealing with, but the three-dimensional and technical side of the design concept."
The DIGI Maori T-shirts are part of Mr Taepa's Urban Maori fashion line which he said fused traditional Maori art concepts with contemporary design.
Mr Taepa began his urban Maori line four years ago as a way to express his own thoughts and opinions through art.
The indigenous fashion board, founded in 2008, is dedicated to developing the quality of Maori fashion design and promoting artistic and professional standards in Maori fashion media.
