Preface
This book grew out of our desire to present a compilation of the different Beauty Technologies we have been prototyping since 2012. It presents an exploration of the interaction between the body and technology. Consequently, the prototypes were created in a multidisciplinary fashion: computing, chemistry, body structure, human behavior, electronics, and design were the basis for creating Beauty Technologies. When we started this project, our aim was to design seamless interfaces using wearables. At that time, most of the wearables we could find in the marketplace were very distinguishable and limited to clothes and accessories, such as a wristband and glasses. Thus, we started to look for the possibilities of having technologies on our body surface. Women from all around the world brought the inspiration for creating Beauty Technology: a Hong Konger putting her fake eyelashes while the bus is in movement, a Japanese girl wearing very long and decorated nails with Swarovski cry
