L’Oreal SA unveils HAPTA, the first handheld, “ultra-precise” computerized makeup applicator targeted to the 50 million people globally who live with limited fine motor skills, at the Consumer Technology Association’s 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas 5-8 January. The device, which will pilot in a lipstick applicator for the Lancôme brand followed by additional makeup applications, contains a combination of built-in smart motion controls and customizable attachments that give users an improved range of motion – 360 degrees of rotation and 180 degrees of flexion, the cosmetics powerhouse says in a 3 January release. The technology was initially created by Alphabet Inc.’s Verily Life Sciences to stabilize and level utensils for eating. HAPTA contains a built-in battery and device charger to provide one-hour continuous use. “The future of beauty is inclusive. And this future will be made more accessible by technology,” said L’Oréal Groupe CEO Nicolas Hieronimus.
