L’Oréal has unveiled a handheld computerized makeup applicator at CES which is intended to help people with limited hand and arm mobility to steadily apply lipstick.
The make-up applicator, dubbed HAPTA, incorporates utensil stabilizing technology originally created by Verily (Alphabet Inc’s bio-science research organization) that was used to assist people with restricted fine motor skills to eat independently.
“For L’Oréal, the future of beauty is inclusive. And this future will be made more accessible by technology.” Nicolas Hieronimus, L’Oreal CEO
