AR Eyewear Guidance for Precise Makeup Application
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals with partial vision face challenges in applying makeup and skincare products due to difficulties in seeing colors, details, and contrasts, relying heavily on tactile feedback or the aid of others, which compromises their independence and confidence.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality (AR) eyewear device with transparent components, sensors, and a controller that provides real-time guidance and superimposed AR interfaces to assist in applying cosmetic products, integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence for precise application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional makeup application methods are used, then individuals with partial vision can maintain simplicity in their grooming routine, but they experience difficulty in seeing colors, details, and contrasts of makeup products and facial features
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality eyewear device as an intermediary between the user and the makeup application process. The device includes sensors to capture facial data, processors to generate three-dimensional maps and identify facial features, and AR interfaces to superimpose guidance information in the user's field of view. This intermediary system enhances visual perception of colors, details, and contrasts without requiring complex external equipment or procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables individuals with partial vision to independently apply makeup by providing real-time visual guidance through the AR eyewear. The automated facial feature identification and step-by-step guidance eliminate the need for assistance from others, allowing users to perform their own grooming tasks with enhanced visual capability.
2Ease of operation
If individuals with partial vision rely on tactile feedback or the aid of others for makeup application, then they can achieve makeup application, but their independence and confidence are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces tactile feedback mechanisms with optical enhancement through augmented reality. Instead of relying on touch or visual assistance, the system uses sensors to capture facial data and generates visual guidance overlays that provide precise spatial and color information directly in the user's field of view, substituting mechanical/tactile methods with optical-digital enhancement.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback by continuously capturing facial data through sensors, processing it to identify facial features, and dynamically updating the AR guidance overlays. This closed-loop feedback system provides ongoing visual confirmation and correction, enabling users to see the effects of their makeup application in real-time with enhanced clarity.

AI summary
An augmented reality (AR) eyewear device is provided. The AR eyewear device may include one or more AR interfaces configured to superimpose text or images upon an FOV of one or more transparent components associated with a user's eyes; sensors configured to capture real-time data associated with the user's face; processors; and non-transitory computer-readable memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processors to: receive an indication of a makeup look selected by the user; analyze the real-time data associated with the user's face in order to generate a three-dimensional map associated with the user's face; identify facial features on the three-dimensional map; and provide, via the AR interfaces, guidance associated with applying one or more cosmetic products to the user's facial features in order to achieve the makeup look selected by the user.
