CES: Beauty and personal care get tech makeover
From devices that analyse skin to finding the right bra size, beauty-tech shines at CES, writes BRYAN TURNER.
When one thinks of high-tech, major brands like Apple and Samsung come to mind. However, the CES technology fest in Las Vegas also plays host to a wide range of companies that are normally more comfortable in fashion and beauty shows. This year, beauty and cosmetics companies are producing innovative products which will maximise comfort.
Here is just a small sample:
YouCam: AI meets AR Makeup
Perfect Corp., creators of YouCam Makeup, is showcasing its latest AR and AI beauty solutions at CES, including “AI Look Transfer”, which allows users to take a photo of a makeup look in print and then try the same AR look on their own face in the YouCam Makeup app. The YouCam Makeup app allows users to try-on makeup looks and products virtually, with a smartphone front camera, and a smattering of artificial intelligence.
Since its launch in August 2014, the app has amassed more than 270 million downloads globally.
YouCam is also showcasing real-time AR hair colouring that allows users to experience a new shade of hair colour on their own hair.
* Perfect Corp is exhibiting and demoing the latest technology at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, booth #32202.
