Abstract: Wearable Computing had changed the way individuals
interact with computers, intertwining natural
capabilities of the human body with processing
apparatus. But most of this technology had been
designed just for clothing or accessories and it is still
flat and rigid, giving the wearer a cyborg look. Beauty
Technology, based on electromagnetic devices that are
embedded into non-invasive beauty products, opens
new possibilities for interacting with different surfaces
and devices. It locates wearable technologies on the
body surface and makes use of muscle movements as
an interactive interface. This work introduces the term
Beauty Technology as an emergent field in Wearable
Computing. It discusses the materials and processes
used for developing the Beauty Tech prototypes and
present some examples of the use of beauty
technologies in everyday beauty products.
