Smart overview of the Invention

The patent application details a system designed to aid visually impaired users in applying makeup accurately. By leveraging advanced technologies such as augmented reality and facial analysis, the system offers guidance through audial and haptic feedback. It generates a three-dimensional face mesh that helps identify facial features and guides users in applying cosmetic products with precision.

Technological Approach

The core of the system involves creating a 3D face mesh from images of the user's face. This mesh maps various facial features, such as eyes, lips, and skin texture, using artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques. The face mesh not only identifies these features but also characterizes them to recommend suitable cosmetic products and routines tailored to the user's unique needs and preferences.

Guidance and Feedback

Step-by-step guidance is provided to users via visual, audial, and haptic outputs. This ensures that users perform each step correctly and receive immediate feedback on their actions. The system evaluates the user's performance to refine future guidance and recommendations, enhancing the overall user experience and increasing the accuracy of makeup application.

Virtual Try-On and Social Features

The technology allows users to virtually apply and experiment with different cosmetic products and styles. Users can modify the application style, try on various looks, and share their creations with others. This social functionality fosters a community where users can explore and exchange ideas, enhancing their confidence and independence in using cosmetics.

Integration with Smart Technologies

The system can integrate with smart devices like RFID-enabled packaging and smart mirrors. These integrations help in identifying products, capturing facial data, and providing real-time guidance during makeup application. By utilizing these smart technologies, the system offers a comprehensive solution that supports users in exploring and mastering cosmetic routines independently.
