ModiFace unveils platform to help you unveil your most beautiful side

You’ve never seen your face like this.

No, it’s not makeup or a new surgical technique — rather, it’s a universal software platform for smart mirrors from ModiFace, which promises to provide clinical skin analysis, skin visualizations, beauty product recommendations, and live makeup simulation for your connected mirror.

You may know ModiFace best for its app, which we first told you about back in December of 2015. But now, the augmented reality application has taken its technology a step further. Following years of smart mirror development, the new software platform claims to equip manufacturers with “a universal capability for beauty assessment and simulation using ModiFace’s patented technology.”

This means that no matter who makes your smart mirror, you can take advantage of ModiFace’s Skin AI skin analysis technology, a new lens distortion feature that compensates for lens misalignment and distortions apparently common in most smart-mirror cameras, dynamic lighting technology to provide ideal lighting conditions, and ModiFace’s live video makeup and skin-care simulation technology, used today by more than 70 global beauty brands.

“In recent years we have seen significant interest in smart mirrors for both retail and in-home settings. While smart-mirror hardware has come in different configurations, sizes and variations, we believe there is a unique opportunity to make ModiFace’s industry-leading intelligent augmented-reality technology the engine that will power most smart mirrors on the market,” said Dr. Parham Aarabi, CEO of ModiFace, “This will provide immediate benefit to hardware manufacturers, as well as a variety of hardware options for beauty brands that wish to use ModiFace’s best-in-class visualization software.”

ModiFace’s new software supports a number of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. Hardware manufacturers including Nikon, Panasonic, and Memomi are also compatible.

Two windows laptops sit on a wooden table.

First teased as an "unknown project" by the well-known Microsoft leaker Aggiornamenti Lumia a few months ago, it looks as though the leaker has finally managed to reveal what Microsoft was working on. Aggiornamenti Lumia now believes that the project is the Xbox Dynamic Backgrounds Editor app, showcasing it partly in action.

This gizmo tracks your TP usage and automatically orders more when you get low
homeplenish-splindle toilet paper holder

Smart home appliances have a tendency to border on solutions-for-nonexistent-problems territory, and no place is that more apparent than the CES show floor. This year is no different. Case in point: A smart toilet paper holder from a company called Homeplenish that keeps a tab on your usage and then  automatically orders more from your Amazon account when you’re about to run out.

Homeplenish says its device will prevent people from hoarding rolls as its algorithm can automatically predict when you’ll need more and order it on your behalf beforehand, unlike some alternatives that tend to buy replacements on a set schedule. Since the smart holder integrates with Amazon’s “Smart Reorder” platform, it also takes into account delivery times and calculates the ideal reorder time frame to ensure “there is never too much or too little towel and tissue on hand.”

Called DearBuds, these devices can easily be mistaken for traditional wireless earbuds. But they’re what Linkface calls an “ear-care device” that goes in your ears after you’re done listening to music on the earbuds of your choice.
