The incubator partners with entrepreneurs and academia to develop the latest and greatest products by using technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Makeup Genius<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015, the incubator launched the&nbsp;Makeup Genius, a mobile app that allows customers to see hair color and makeup on their own face before they buy with the help of augmented reality. All customers need to do is upload an image of themselves or use their computer\u2019s camera to try on cosmetics or different hair color. A live before and after comparison is available through the apps&#8217; sliding feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart Hairbrush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another product the incubator created through a partnership with smart technology maker Withings and K\u00e9rastase (L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2019s luxury hair-care brand) is aimed at responding to those who want to reduce their bad-hair days. The brush uses a conductivity sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections to gather technical insights, upload them to an algorithm that will be able to use the information to provide personalized product recommendations about the best way to care for the user\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article is especially helpful in providing inspiration for future products.
