TINT virtual try-on platform
TINT has been gaining traction on the market and receiving updates from the development team.
- Skin care support. TINT was the first virtual try-on platform that implemented support for skin care products. While they are invisible, the app uses advanced AI to predict the effects from prolonged use and demonstrates them.
- Expanded try-on options. TINT started out as a makeup try-on application, but today it also works with headwear, glasses/sunglasses, jewelry, piercings, hair color, nail polish, and colored contacts.
- Gift selection. The “Gift selection” feature allows users to choose suitable gifts for their loved ones. They need to upload the photo of a person, and the AI will suggest products that would fit them.
- Improvements in the recommendations algorithm. The system now gives even better suggestions thanks to the updated neural networks.
- Over 100.000 SKUs digitized. Thanks to our rapid conversion process, we have created over 100.000 virtual items for our clients.
Photo Editor SDK release
Banuba’s Photo Editor SDK for Android and iOS is designed to turn regular photos into viral masterpieces. It has a powerful suite of retouching features while still being intuitive and user-friendly.
This is what it can do:
- AI retouching. The inbuilt AI analyzes the face of the person in the photo and applies effects to enhance their natural appearance and remove skin imperfections (wrinkles, problem spots, acne, etc.). A user can then adjust these effects as needed.
- Facial feature adjustment. Modifying the size and shape of eyes, nose, cheekbones, eyebrows, and lips; whitening teeth.
- Virtual makeup. AR cosmetics for eyes, lips, and hair, as well as an eye color changer. Dozens of options available for each category.
- Virtual backgrounds. Changing picture backdrop to one of the many scenes.
- Color filters. Changing the color scheme of the image.
- Overlays. Captions, stickers, pictures, and more.
Social media, dating apps, eCommerce, dedicated photo editors – these are just a few of the apps that could benefit from Banuba Photo Editor SDK.
