Interactive Makeup Tutorial Using Face Tracking and Augmented Reality on Mobile Devices

Abstract

This work presents an interactive application for makeup tutorials, targeted to mobile devices based on the Android platform. The application uses Augmented Reality to ease the execution of a set of steps of a given tutorial. By tracking the user's face, the application can display where a given makeup should be applied in each step. Users can also contribute by creating their own tutorials. Our results showed that this application is effective in helping users to learn or follow a makeup procedure, in which most of them agreed that they spent less time than expected by following the interactive tutorial, that it is easy to use and that they were satisfied with the results of the application.
