Projection-Mapped Makeup

Omote Uses Real-Time Projection Mapping to Bring Makeup to Life

— August 19, 2014 — Fashion
Real-time projection mapping is pretty impressive, but Omote is an advanced technology that takes it to another level. To demonstrate the powers of Omote, a model was set up to show the range of makeup looks that could be displayed on her moving face. These looks range from ones with dramatic eyeliner to ones that would take an extremely talented makeup artist to apply—and even so, this kind of dynamism isn't possible with traditional makeup.

It's difficult to grasp that all of the makeup looks are purely projections, especially just from a video. However, for those lucky enough to attend at the end of this month, there will be a demonstration in Tokyo for people to witness this makeup projection mapping technology with their own eyes.
