A Hyper-Realistic Virtual Beard Try-On

The advanced virtual try-on solution uses a combination of smart technologies that help users visualize different beard styles on their faces with incredible accuracy. The powerful blend of technologies at play includes:

• Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) technology to remove facial hair and add the beard styles to the user's original photo
• AI technology to power the rendering of a virtual beard to fit the individual’s face shape
• AR technology to power the digital try-on on the image for a simulated beard try-on effect

Users can instantly discover a collection of virtual beard styles through true-to-life try-on in the YouCam Makeup app.

Finding the Perfect Beard Style with the new Men’s Grooming Experience – Experimenting without Risk

The interactive virtual beard style try-on features 15 different facial hair styles that can be tried-on in selfie photo mode, allowing app users to experiment with beard styles in a whole new way. Advanced feature tools, including the convenient beard eraser tool, allows users to adjust and customize their beard to better fit their personal style. Similarly, the compare feature tool gives users a chance to compare their before and after facial hair styles, with side-by-side comparison.
