AR Beauty Tutorials Using Presenter Motion and Effects Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Applying beauty products can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring expert assistance which is expensive and inconvenient, and users may be dissatisfied with the results.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality (AR) tutorial system that allows users to create and follow step-by-step beauty product application tutorials, synchronizing the presenter's actions with their own live view, enabling customization and real-time effects application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If users seek expert assistance for applying beauty products, then application quality is improved, but cost and convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual copy of the expert's actions by capturing the presenter's movements and overlaying them onto the user's live camera view. This allows the user to see and replicate the exact application technique without needing physical expert assistance, resolving the contradiction between application quality and convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The AR tutorial system acts as an intermediary between the expert presenter and the user. It captures the presenter's actions, processes them through computer vision algorithms, and delivers them to the user via mobile device, eliminating the need for direct expert-user interaction while maintaining application quality
2Manufacturing precision
If users follow multiple-step beauty product tutorials, then application effectiveness is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-capturing and analyzing the presenter's complete tutorial sequence before presenting it to the user. The computer vision system processes all movements in advance, creating a ready-to-follow AR tutorial that guides the user through each step without requiring real-time analysis, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The tutorial is divided into discrete steps with clear transitions between them. The system segments the application process into identifiable phases (e.g., foundation application, contouring, lips) and presents them sequentially with visual cues, making the multi-step process more manageable and time-efficient for users
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional tutorial methods are used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and satisfaction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from traditional 2D video tutorials to 3D augmented reality by overlaying virtual elements onto the user's real-world view. This dimensional enhancement maintains implementation simplicity while dramatically improving user engagement through interactive, personalized guidance that adapts to the user's specific actions and environment

AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer readable media for augmented reality beauty product tutorials. Methods disclose determining from live images of an augmented reality (AR) tutorial effects, the effects indicating changes to the live images of a presenter of the AR tutorial from a beauty product being applied to a body part of the presenter. The methods further comprising determining from the live images motion, the motion indicating motion of the beauty product from the beauty product being applied to the body part of the presenter and storing the effects and the motion.
