Augmented Reality Cosmetic Mirror

Giant Shiseido has come out with a Digital Cosmetic Mirror that can be used to test make-up and recommendations without even having to pick up a mascara brush. Using augmented reality to do sampling is a novel way to involve consumers, and can be a useful technology for saving on waste. All you do is sit down and let the camera scan your face. The terminal then gives you tailored recommendations. Pressing a few buttons on the touch-screen will paints the make-up onto your image in real time, allowing you to see the results instantly. You can also try out make-up that is currently making waves, along with printing out before and after photos with product information for you to go make the purchase of whichever colors caught your eye the most. Currently this machine is station in Takashimaya department store in Shinjuku. Hopefully it will ship to worldwide soon.
