Japanese customers’ augmented reality mirror to see what makeup looks like without trying it on
And now for another interesting application of augmented reality, and it’s pretty practical, too.
Not only that, but it is already in use. At the Takashimaya department store, there is a Digital Cosmetic Mirror that allows customers to see what make-up will look like on their face, without putting it on.
I find it hard to believe that this would work very well. I saw a similar demonstration of augmented reality at CES 2009 that allowed me to have glasses and a mustache, but it looked pretty fake. I mean, it looked like the ’stache and shades were just super-imposed there.

Music In Love Audio Splitter
This has to be the sweetest audio splitter ever created. If you’re constantly sharing your music with someone else, then having this small heart-shaped keychain around would be handy. It could always stay dangling from your keychain and it would look like nothing more than a brightly colored little heart. Then just pop off the cap and it’s ready to go.

Drum Kit Keychain
Instead of irritating others in a room by drumming an imaginary solo on the table with your fingers, why not use the Drum Kit Keychain instead? After all, it carries half a dozen playable drums with their own distinctive sound, making a whole lot more palatable and authentic to those around you. It would be nice if the device came with some sort of recording facility in order to record down all your thumb-tapping solos in their full glory to be shared with others. Apart from that, it makes for an interesting keychain, and nice to know that you get batteries included with each $7.99 purchase to get you drumming right out of the box.

Logitech Loud Enough Noise-Isolating Earphones
Mention Logitech and most people would think that you are talking about its computer speakers which offer a whole lot of bang for your buck, or even of their famous range of computer mice. Well, today we won’t be touching on either, but will still have something to do with audio – the Loud Enough Noise-Isolating Earphones. Judging by its name, you can more or less tell that it has some sort of built-in mechanism that limits the loudness of whatever music you’re playing at that point in time. Well, it works that way, but will target a market niche that most manufacturers have missed – kids. After all, there is no better time to teach your little ones something than when they’re young and still malleable, right? Might as well use the Logitech Loud Enough Noise-Isolating Earphones to make sure that they don’t pick up the bad habit of cranking up the volume beyond reasonable listening levels just because it is “cool”, only to suffer from hearing problems many years down the road in their adult life.
