Fusion Brands & ModiFace Partner to Virtually Transform Beauty for Women
New Technology Enhances the Virtual Beauty Experience
NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Fusion Brands Inc. announces the global launch of an enhanced virtual beauty transformation tool using ModiFace Inc. technology for FusionBeauty Colorceuticals. This innovative system launched at Lord & Taylor's flagship store on 5th Avenue last month and will be expanding in the coming months on FusionBeauty.com along with installations globally.
"We chose ModiFace as our partner for this new revolution in beauty to give our consumer the chance to virtually experience the clinically proven results of FusionBeauty," said Caroline Pieper-Vogt, CEO for Fusion Brands Inc. "ModiFace has conducted extensive scientific research while developing their virtual beauty transformation experience and like FusionBeauty, this artistic virtual tool helps to recreate the visual effects of dermatologic procedures with the art of beauty."
This new beauty transformation tool allows consumers to upload photographs, without having to calibrate facial positioning, instantly seeing the color results of using FusionBeauty Colorceutical products as well as the long-term skincare benefits. The ModiFace tool is one of the only tools on the market today with this level of sophistication and visualization.
"We are pleased to be working with such an innovative company like Fusion Brands Inc." said Dr. Parham Aarabi, CEO and founder of ModiFace Inc. "The level of innovation at both ModiFace and FusionBeauty Colorceuticals provided a background for an ideal partnership. Going forward, we have a team of makeup artists, computer vision experts and computer graphics scientists working on improving our technology on a daily basis - so you will continue to see some truly revolutionary technology in the coming months."
On this easy-to-use tool, users can simply upload their photos for facial processing. Once the photos are uploaded, the technology - using patented algorithms - detects the face, lips, eyes, and nose, automatically selecting regions on which to apply makeup. These algorithms are based on nearly a decade of research at Stanford University and the University of Toronto and are what truly differentiates the product from others on the market. Once the facial features are detected, the tool selectively applies FusionBeauty products to the face in a matter of seconds, and shows the user how she looks today and how she can look after continued use in before and after photos.
