Sephora+ModiFace Launch The World’s First 3D Augmented Reality Mirror in Milan
Milan, Italy (PRWEB) May 29, 2014 -- SEPHORA, the leading beauty specialty retailer, and ModiFace, the leading global augmented reality virtual makeover technology provider, today announced the launch of a 3D Augmented Reality Mirror that can simulate cosmetics on a user's face in real-time and in 3D. The new patented technology, created by ModiFace, tracks the precise location of a user’s facial features and applies eye shadow colors directly on the video feed from a camera. Sephora customers can:
- Try any number of cosmetic colors – instantaneously and virtually – simply by tapping on a shade palette on the Beauty Mirror screen
- Preview unique textures of eye shadow including glittery, sparkly, and shiny shadow textures
- View all eye shadows from different angles as they turn their face from side to side, enabling customers to virtually try out products quickly in a store and to make better informed purchasing decisions
Originally announced in 2014, the Sephora 3D Augmented Reality mirror is the world’s first photo-realistic 3D mirror, and is the result of over 3 years of research and development. “We are delighted by our partnership with Sephora which resulted in the world’s first 3D augmented reality cosmetics mirror. We believe this will be a game changer for cosmetics shoppers," said Dr. Parham Aarabi, Founder/CEO of ModiFace.
“We believe ModiFace’s 3D Augmented Reality Mirror will be a breakthrough technology for our customers as they virtually try out different eye shadow shades quickly and easily," said Antonio Ferreira de Almeida, General manager, Sephora Italy.
