Program exhibits at an event marking the 80th anniversary of Shiseido’s beauty consultants
In cooperation with Beauty Software Development Group II of the Shiseido Beauty Creation Development Center, we developed and exhibited at an event held October 23 and 24, 2014 in the Shiseido Ginza Building to mark the 80th anniversary of Shiseido’s beauty consultants a group of spherical devices that display light in response to surrounding sounds. (Members of the project team: Yosuke Eguchi, second-year student, Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering; Jun Nishida, first-year student, Ph.D. Program in Empowerment Informatics; Naoki Tani, second-year student, Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences).
This event held to commemorate this year’s 80th anniversary of the start of the Miss Shiseido program, the predecessor of today’s Shiseido Beauty Consultants whose duties include customer service and proposing beauty techniques, featured special presentations chiefly by members of the media and invited guests tracing the history of the program along with exhibitions on future efforts and other activities.
We exhibited Drops, spherical devices that display light in response to surrounding sounds. In the venue of this event we staged a demonstration in which the Drops displayed soft light in response to sounds generated by Kinetic Tone, a device that used bio-signals to recognize the movements of the hands of beauty consultants’ face massages and transform these into sound.
