ModiFace unveils platform to help you unveil your most beautiful side

By Digital Trends Staff Published January 3, 2017

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.

TCL’s NXTWEAR AIR wearable display is like a cinema on your face

TCL NXTWEAR AIR wearable display.

The TCL NXTWEAR AIR wearable display glasses come barely six months after the release of the company's first-generation NXTWEAR G wearable display, and it appears TCL has listened to some feedback and improved the glasses where they needed to the most: Comfort, fit, and wearability. The concept, revealed as part of TCL's CES 2022 range of products, remains the same, so think of the glasses as the equivalent of having a 140-inch screen right in front of your eyes. These aren’t Google Glass competitors, but more like a private cinema.

Crucially, TCL has made the NXTWEAR AIR lighter than the NXTWEAR G, and the glasses weigh 75 grams with the standard lenses in place, compared to the 100 grams of the first-generation pair. A 30-gram reduction in weight should make the NXTWEAR Air less fatiguing to wear for any length of time. Looking at the images, TCL has also changed the nose pad design, but it’s not clear how adjustable the new system will be.

NZXT’s N7 B550

If you're looking to build a clean, modern gaming PC, you'll definitely want to check out NZXT's N7 series motherboard. Unlike traditional boards where the circuitry and soldering points are exposed, the N7 features a plastic shroud in black or white that's designed to give a more polished and elevated aesthetic to your custom-built gaming PC.

NZXT's N7 B550, as its name implies, is built around AMD's B550 chipset, so it will be a a great component for Team Red gamers to invest in. The ATX-sized board will work with Ryzen 3000, Ryzen 4000, and Ryzen 5000 series processors thanks to its AM4 socket, though NZXT stated that it won't work with Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3200G chipsets.
