Background
"Hair-Stylo" is an interactive application that allows user to test different kind of hair styles that can help them to make better decision on which hair styles that suits them the most.
Problem Identification
We tend to choose the wrong hair style that does not look suitable on us. Once we did something to our hair, we must be ready to face the final outcome for quite a long period depending on the hair types itself because there is no undo button when it comes to the hair. Knowing the right hair color, cut, and method are a must before seeing th
e hair-dresser or during the consultation hour with them.
Aim and Objectives
- To give people the chance in trying variety of hair styles.
- To help in making decision and choosing the best hair styles that is suitable.
- To create the feeling of excitement when testing various hair styles.
Motivation
Saloons should have this kind of application to help customer in making choice so that they can imagine how they are going to look like in that hair style. Therefore, communication between customer and hair-dresser will be much easier as the customer can actually just show what style they wanted to the hair-dresser on the spot. And with this kind of application, we will be exposed to new kind of hair style that will somehow help to re
move the feeling of anxious to try it in real life because we already know how we are going to appear. It will surely make everybody's life including me myself a lot easier.
Ideation and Concept
Using webcam to detect the eye level of the user. Then different hair styles will appear one by one on the user's face at the screen. There will be different hair styles for different gender. There will also be range of hair that the user can try. If he/she did not like the hair that they were trying, they can always press next to try the next hair style.
