The present disclosure relates to information processing devices, information processing methods, and programs.
In recent years, gel nail art has become popular. In the gel nail art, gel resin is solidified under ultraviolet light. In addition, in recent years, many people enjoy gel nail art on fingernails and toenails done not only at nail salons but also at home. In view of its time and cost, doing nail art at home is better than going to a nail salon, However, when doing nail art at home, tools and techniques are necessary, and poor nail art may be obtained in comparison with nail art done at a nail salon.
In addition, in recent years, nail art printer devices have become widespread. The nail art printer device prints desired designs on human nails or artificial nails. When using a home-use nail art printer device, it is possible to reduce burden for making a nail salon reservation, save time required to go to the nail salon, and save cost for the nail salon. In addition, it is possible to obtain nail art with designs and quality equivalent to nail art done at nail salons.
With regard to such nail art printing technologies, for example, Patent Literature 1 listed below describes a nail art printer device capable of printing various kinds of designs on respective nail regions, In addition, Patent Literature 2 listed below describes a nail art printer device capable of capturing an image of nail art designs created on nails of another person (such as celebrity or friend) and printing them on nails of a user or on an artificial nail sheet. In addition, Patent Literature 3 listed below describes a nail decoration sheet including an electronic paper layer with a rewritable image.

With reference to
As illustrated in
The nail art creation device 100 is an optical modeling device capable of creating a product (that is, nail art) on nails by solidifying paint applied to nails under laser light. More specifically, it is possible for the nail art, creation device 100 to expose a surface of photosensitive resin applied to a surface (here, nails) of an accumulation target (here, fingers 300), and create products by utilizing alteration of the resin through light radiation.
When the optical scanning using the movable mirror 20 finishes, the nail art creation device 100 notifies the user that the photosensitive resin processing is finished. The user checks the notification, and wipes off unsolidified photosensitive resin with alcohol (such as ethanol). In the case where production of products (here, nail art to be created on nails) is not completed, the user applies paint to the nails again, inserts his/her hand into the insertion opening 110 of the nail art creation device 100, and requests the nail art creation device 100 to process photosensitive resin again. When the user inputs an instruction to process the photosensitive resin, the nail art creation device 100 performs the optical scanning using the movable mirror 20 again. In this way, nail art made of products based on a plurality of paints (in other words, nail art with multiple colors) is completed.
Note that, it is possible to provide a camera (such as imaging unit 40 illustrated in
With reference to
The light source unit 10 is capable of outputting collimated light on the basis of a driving signal from the drive unit 50. For example, the light source unit 10 includes a light emitting element 11 configured to output ultraviolet light, and a collimating lens 12 placed on an optical path of the ultraviolet light.
For example, the light emitting element 11 includes one or a plurality of semiconductor lasers, or a one or a plurality of light emitting diodes. The semiconductor laser may be a general laser or a special one such as a second harmonic generation (SHG) laser. The light emitting diode may be a general light emitting diode or a special one such as a superluminescent diode (SLD). For example, the semiconductor laser or the light emitting diode that output ultraviolet light may include a GaInN semiconductor capable of outputting light of a 405 nm band. For example, the semiconductor laser configured to output ultraviolet light is obtained by stacking an n-type AlGaN clad layer, an n-type GaN guide layer, a GaInN multiple quantum well layer, a p-type AlGaN electron blocking layer, a p-type GaN guide layer, a p-type AlGaN clad layer, and a p-type GaN contact later on an n-type GaN substrate in this order. In general, the semiconductor laser has a smaller beam spot diameter than a beam spot diameter of the light emitting diode. Therefore, in the case where one or a plurality of semiconductor lasers are used as the light emitting element 11, it is possible to easily obtain high energy density because the light emitting element 11 has a tiny beam spot diameter.
The collimating lens 12 is capable of making light output from the light emitting element 11 into a parallel light flux (collimated light Lc1) by utilizing refraction through the lens. Note that, instead of the collimating lens 12, the light source unit 10 may include an optical member configured to make light output from the light emitting element 11 into a parallel light flux by utilizing reflection from the mirror.
The movable mirror 20 is placed on the optical path of the collimated light Lc1 output from the light source unit 10. The movable mirror 20 is configured to displace the optical path of the light incident on the movable mirror 20. The movable mirror 20 is configured to reflect the collimated light Lc1 output from the light source unit 10 and displace the movable mirror 20 on the basis of a driving signal from the drive unit 50. Thereby, an optical path of reflected light Lr1 is displaced, and a target surface St (in the embodiment, surfaces of photosensitive resin (paint) applied to the nails of the fingers 300) is scanned through the collimated light Lc1 (reflected light Lc1). For example, the movable mirror 20 may include a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirror, a polygon mirror, or a galvano mirror.
The sensor unit 30 is configured to acquire positional data Ds of a predetermined surface including the target surface St, and output it to the control unit 60. The positional data Ds is a three-dimensional coordinate data of the predetermined surface including the target surface St. The sensor unit 30 may break down the predetermined surface including the target surface St into a plurality of elements and acquire three-dimensional coordinates for the respective broken-down elements. Alternatively, the sensor unit 30 may break down only the target surface St into a plurality of elements and acquire three-dimensional coordinates for the respective broken-down elements.
The sensor unit 30 includes a distance sensor. For example, the sensor unit 30 includes a near-infrared sensor using time of flight (TOF). For example, in the TOF, a distance between the movable mirror 20 and the predetermined surface including the target surface St is measured on the basis of a time lag between respective pulse light beams obtained from two light receiving elements. For example, as illustrated in
For example, the light emitting element 31 includes a semiconductor capable of outputting light of an 833 nm band. The collimating lens 32, the half mirror 33, and the total reflection mirror 34, and the dichroic mirror 35 are placed in this order toward a propagation direction of the near-infrared light output from the light emitting element 31. The dichroic mirror 35 is also placed on an optical path of light output from the light emitting element 11. The collimating lens 32 is configured to make near-infrared light output from the light emitting element 31 into a parallel light flux (collimated light Lc2) by utilizing refraction through the lens. The half mirror 33 is configured to transmit a part of the collimated light Lc2 and reflect a part of the collimated light Lc2 toward the light receiving element 37. The total reflection mirror 34 is configured to reflect all light transmitted through the half mirror 33 among the collimated light Lc2. The dichroic mirror 35 is configured to transmit the collimated light Lc1 and reflect the collimated light Lc2 toward the movable mirror 20.
The light receiving element 37 is configured to receive light reflected from the half mirror 33 among the collimated light Lc2. The light receiving element 38 is configured to receive light (reflection light Lr3) reflected from the target surface St among the collimated light Lc2. For example, the light receiving elements 37 and 38 may be photodiodes.
The time lag detection circuit 36 is configured to derive a time lag between respective light beams (pulse light beams) obtained from the two light receiving elements 37 and 38, and measure a distance between the movable mirror 20 and a region including the target surface St on the basis of the derived time lag. The time lag detection circuit 36 is configured to derive the positional data Ds on the basis of the distance between the movable mirror 20 and the region including the target surface St, and output it to the control unit 60.
The imaging unit 40 captures an image of the region including the target surface St. For example, the imaging unit 40 includes a twin-lens camera. The control unit 60 is configured to derive a “distance from the imaging unit 40 to the region including the target surface St” from a stereo image obtained by the imaging unit 40 through triangulation. The control unit 60 is also capable of deriving the positional data Ds on the basis of the distance from the imaging unit 40 to the region including the target surface St. In addition, it is also possible for the control unit 60 to cause the display unit 70 to display an image of the fingers 300 captured by the imaging unit 40. Note that, it is also possible to use a monocular camera to measure a distance (so-called depth) from the imaging unit 40 to the region including the target surface St. For example, when focusing on a foreground surface of the target surface St using the monocular camera and capturing a plurality of images while gradually shortening the focal length, it is possible to measure roughness and curves of a nail serving as the target surface St, and acquire the positional data Ds.
For example, the storage unit 80 is configured to be capable of storing coordinate data Dt. The display unit 70 displays an operation screen of the nail art creation device 100, a nail art simulation screen, a nail art recommendation screen, or the like on the basis of a control signal from the control unit 60. The operation input unit 90 is implemented as a button, a switch, a touchscreen, a keyboard, a mouse, or the like, and receives operation input by a user. The display device 200 including the control unit 60, the display unit 70, the storage unit 80, and the operation input unit 90 is implemented as an electronic device such as a smartphone, for example.
The coordinate data Dt is data representing shapes and sizes of products (the products are created by solidifying paint applied to nails under laser light. In the embodiment, the products are equivalent to nail art) by using a plurality of coordinate data pieces. In addition, color information may be associated with each of the coordinate data pieces in the coordinate data Dt.
The driving unit 50 is configured to drive the light source unit 10, the movable mirror 20, the sensor unit 30, and the imaging unit 40 on the basis of control signals from the control unit 60.
The control unit 60 is configured to control the light source unit 10, the movable mirror 20, the sensor unit 30, and the imaging unit 40 via the driving unit 50. Via the driving unit 50, the control unit 60 displaces the movable minor 20, and the optical path is displaced in accordance with the displacement of the movable mirror 20 such that the target surface St is scanned by the collimated light Lc1 (light reflected from the movable mirror 20 (reflection light Lr1)). In addition, the control unit 60 reads out the coordinate data Dt from the storage unit 80, and then controls light emission of the light source unit 10 on the basis of the coordinate data Dt via the driving unit 50.
The control unit 60 is configured to control light emission of the light source unit 10 on the basis of the positional data Ds and the coordinate data Dt. The control unit 60 is configured to control light emission of the light source unit 10 on the basis of the positional data Ds and the coordinate data Dt that have been acquired before scanning. Specifically, the control unit 60 is configured to correct coordinate data Dt on the basis of positional data Ds acquired before scanning, and control light emission of the light source unit 10 on the basis of coordinate data Dt′ obtained through the correction.
Next, with reference to
The data acquisition unit 601 acquires positional data Ds of the target surface St from the sensor unit 30 of the nail art creation device 100. In addition, it is also possible for the data acquisition unit 601 to acquire image data from an external device and a cloud. The image data is used by the nail art design decision unit 602 (to be described later) to generate nail art designs. In addition, it is also possible for the data acquisition unit 601 to acquire registered nail art design image data from the storage unit 80.
The nail art design decision unit 602 decides nail art designs (including at least a pattern and color) to be presented to a user. More specifically, for example, the nail art design decision unit 602 decides nail art designs that suit a skin color and sizes of nails of a user on the basis of information acquired through sensing of the fingers 300 of the user (such as a captured image). In addition, it is also possible for the nail art design decision unit 602 to decide appropriate nail art designs on the basis of clothing, a hairstyle, a hair color, a job, or a scene (for example, wedding party, a coming of age ceremony, dating, a club, a leisure place such as mountain or sea) of a user. In addition, it is also possible for the nail art design decision unit 602 to decide an appropriate nail art design for a nail with a lost nail art design among respective nails, in accordance with nail art designs of the other nails on the basis of a captured image of the fingers 300 of the user. Note that, it is possible for the nail art design decision unit 602 to generate the nail art designs to be presented to the user on the basis of nail art design image data selected by the user, existing nail art design image data, or the like.
The adjustment unit 603 adjusts the nail art design decided by the nail art design decision unit 602. For example, the adjustment unit 603 adjusts sizes of the nail art designs in accordance with sizes of respective nails of the user on the basis of the captured image of the fingers 300 of the users. In addition, the adjustment unit 603 adjusts color shades of the decided nail art designs in accordance with the skin color of the user extracted from the captured image of the fingers 300 of the user. In addition, it is also possible for the adjustment unit 603 to adjust the sizes and the color shades of the nail art designs in response to user operation.
The output control unit 604 outputs a control signal to the drive unit 50 of the nail art creation device 100 such that products are created by using the nail art designs adjusted by the adjustment unit 603. In addition, it is possible for the output control unit 604 to perform control such that a nail art recommendation screen is generated and the display unit 70 displays the nail art recommendation screen to present the adjusted nail art designs to the user. In this case, it is also possible for the output control unit 604 to present a nail art simulation screen in which image data of the adjusted nail art designs is superimposed on respect nails in the image of the fingers 300 of the user captured by the imaging unit 40. In the case of superimposing the image data of the nail art designs on the nails in the captured image, the output control unit 604 displays the superimposed data in view of roughness and curves of the nails on the basis of depth information of the respective nails (specifically, information regarding roughness and curves of nail surfaces). Therefore, it is possible to prevent a feeling of strangeness about simulation. In addition, it is possible for the output control unit 604 to perform control such that an adjustment screen is generated and the display unit 70 displays the adjustment screen. The adjustment screen is used by the user to adjust the nail art designs decided by the nail art design decision unit 602.
Note that, a server may include at least a part of the functions of the control unit 60. In addition, the server may include the control unit 60 and the storage unit 80. In this case, the display device 200 and/or the nail art creation device connects with the server via a network, receives various kinds of control signals and screen display information from the server, and transmits a captured image acquired by the imaging unit 40 and the positional data Ds and the coordinate data Dt acquired by the sensor unit 30.
Next, with reference to
A screen 700 illustrated in
Next, the nail art design decision unit 602 of the control unit 60 decides a nail art design (Step S106). The nail art design may be automatically recommended and decided by a system side as described later, or may be decided in accordance with a selection made by the user. For example, through the screen 700 illustrated in
In addition, it is also possible for the nail art creation system according to the embodiment to collect speech from the user via a microphone (not illustrated), analyze the speech, and respond to the recognized speech by voice of the character 723. Therefore, it is possible to cause the user to experience conversation with the nail technician. For example, in the case where the user has given instructions regarding a design, a color, arrangement of items, or the like by voice, a nail art design is generated in accordance with the instructions and displayed on the screen. In addition, the character 723 who is the nail technician is displayed and voice like “how about this one?” is output. Accordingly, the user can order his/her original nail art design while having conversations with the nail technician.
In addition, as illustrated in
In addition, during creation of nail art (during scanning through laser light or while waiting for a next step), the display unit 70 is caused to display the character 723 who is the nail technician and output information other than the nail art such as fashion information, entertainment information, and news (or various kinds of information appropriate to the user) by voice, and it is possible to provide the user with experience as if he/she has conversations with the nail technician in a nail salon. In addition, the information outputted from the character 723 who is the nail technician is not limited to the various kinds of information described above. Such information may include advertisement information. As described above, it is possible not only to merely create nail art, but also to establish communication with a nail technician like communication in a nail salon. This can provide additional values other than creation of nail art.
Next, the adjustment unit 603 of the control unit 60 may adjust the nail art design (Step S109). The adjustment unit 603 is capable of adjusting the position and the size of the nail art design. Sizes of nails are different between people or between fingers. Therefore, if the decided nail art design is applied to all the nails in the same way, sometimes its design may be deteriorated. For example, the adjustment unit 603 is capable of automatically adjusting positions and sizes of the nail art designs in accordance with sizes of respective nails on the basis of an image captured by the imaging unit 40. In addition, the adjustment unit 603 is also capable of adjusting the positions and the sizes of the nail art designs in response to user operation. Here,
In the example illustrated in
In addition, it is possible for the user to freely decide colors of a nail art design image through the color selection screen 733. In addition, in the case of adding a nail art design image, it is possible to return to the screen illustrated in
As described above, the nail art designs are adjusted appropriately.
In addition, as illustrated in
The nail art design decision process according to the embodiment has been described above. As described with reference to
Next, the nail art design decision unit 602 of the control unit 60 decides a nail art design to be recommended to the user on the basis of the acquired information of the user, and the output control unit 604 causes the display unit 70 to display the decided nail art design (Step S206). For example, on the basis of the acquired job or scene of the user, the control unit 60 recommends a nail art design popular in a similar job or a similar scene to the user. In addition, it is also possible for the control unit 60 to recommend a nail art design popular among people with a similar hairstyle or clothing to the user, on the basis of the acquired hairstyle or clothing of the user. Alternatively, it is also possible to recommend a nail art design or a nail art design pattern suitable to registered hairstyles or clothing, to nail technicians, fashion stylists, or the like.
In addition, when the control unit 60 displays nail art designs to be recommended to the user, the displayed content is not limited only to nail art design images. For example, it is also possible to display a nail art design image superimposed on a captured image of a hand of a user. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling that nail art designs actually created on his/her nails are different from nail art designs the user has selected. Here,
In the example illustrated in
Next, the adjustment unit 603 of the control unit 60 adjusts colors or color shades of the nail art design to be recommended to the user on the basis of the acquired information of the user, and the output control unit 604 causes the display unit 70 to display the adjusted nail art design (Step S209). For example, the control unit 60 refers to color coordinating information or the like and recommends colors and color shades suitable to the user, on the basis of the acquired skin color, the hair color, color of clothing, or the like of the user. For example, in the case where the user has a yellowish skin, the control unit 60 may recommend orangish colors rather than pinkish colors, or recommend an orangish punk color rather than hot pink color among pinkish colors. Here,
In the illustrated example, a captured image display screen 751, a color shade selection screen 753, and a design addition button 754 are displayed in a screen 750. The captured image display screen 751 displays nail art design images 725a, 725b, 725c, and 7225d that are superimposed on nails of respective fingers (index finger 320, middle finger 330, ring finger 340, and little finger 350) of the user. The nail art design images 725a, 725b, 725c, 7225d are nail art images to be recommended to the user, and color shades of the nail art design images 725a, 725b, 725c, 7225d are adjusted in accordance with the skin color of the user.
Next, in the case where the user has performed an operation to change content recommended by the system side (YES in Step S212), the control unit 60 adjusts the nail art design in response to the changing operation, and learns preference of the user (Step S215). Specifically, for example, the control unit 60 changes designs and color shades in response to a user operation and registers designs and color shades that the user likes in the case where the design changing button 764 is tapped and the design is changed as illustrated in
The details of the nail art design decision process according to the embodiment have been described above. Note that, among the respective steps illustrated in
The details of the nail art design recommendation and the nail art design decision according to the embodiment have been described above. Next, with reference to
Next, the control unit 60 instructs the user to apply paint to his/her nails (Step S306). The paint application instruction may be displayed on the display unit 70, or may be output by voice, for example. The paint to be applied is resin having high sensitivity to a 405 nm band.
Next, the control unit 60 transmits a control signal to the driving unit 50 (Step S309). The control signal instructs to radiate light to solidify the paint. The drive unit 50 radiates light with a sensitive wavelength range of resin A (405 nm hand) of resin A, to a target surface to which the resin A is applied. In this case, the laser light or LED light is radiated from the light source unit 10. In this way, it is possible to solidify the paint (in other words, it is possible to create the solidified resin part A).
Next, the control unit 60 instructs the user to remove unsolidified parts (Step S312). The removing instruction may be displayed on the display unit 70 or may be output by voice, for example.
Next, Step S306 to Step S312 are repeated until the whole process finishes (Step S315). In other words, the control unit 60 repeats Step S306 to Step S312 until optical products (here, nail art created on nails) are completed. For example, the control unit 60 instructs to apply resin B on surfaces including the solidified resin part, and radiates light with a sensitive wavelength range of the resin B (405 nm band) from the light source unit 10 to all over the resin B, to create a solidified resin part B. In this way, the optical products including the solidified resin part A and the solidified resin part B (such as nail art designs with two colors) are created on nails.
Next, with reference to
Next, the nail art design decision unit 602 of the control unit 60 generates a complementary nail art design through any of “existing generation”, “editing by user”, and “recommendation by system” (Step S406). It is possible to preliminarily set which of the methods to be used, or it is also possible to cause the user to select any of the methods.
Next, in the case of the “existing generation”, the nail art design decision unit 602 generates a complementary nail art design that matches nail art designs of the other nails (nail art design having similar design concept) by copying the nail art designs of the other nails or by combining an existing nail art design with the nail art designs of the other nails (Step S409).
Next, the output control unit 604 of the control unit 60 performs control such that the generated nail art design is displayed on the display unit 70. In this case, it is possible for the output control unit 604 to display the generated nail art design superimposed on the part with lost nail art in the captured image (Step S412).
Subsequently, in the case where the user performs a deciding operation (YES in Step S415), the generation process finishes, and proceeds to a nail art creation process illustrated in
On the other hand, in the case where a changing operation is performed by the user (NO in Step S415), or in the case of the “editing by user” (“EDITING BY USER” in Step S406), the adjustment unit 603 of the control unit 60 edits the nail art design in response to the operation performed by the user. For example, the adjustment unit 603 receives an editing operation performed on the nail art designs of the other nails or a combination design of an existing nail art design and the nail art designs of the other nails (Step S418).
Next, in the case of “multiple recommendations” (“MULTIPLE RECOMMENDATIONS” in Step S406), the nail art design decision unit 602 generates a plurality of design candidates with reference to designs of the other nails (Step S421).
Next, the display unit 70 displays the respective generated designs (Step S424).
Next, selection is received (Step S427).
The details of the complementary: nail art design generation process according to the embodiment have been described above. Next, with reference to
The configuration of the nail art creation system according to embodiment is not limited to the above described embodiment. For example, the nail art creation system may include an additional light source unit. Next, detailed description will be provided with reference to
The light source unit 10A is capable of outputting collimated light on the basis of a driving signal from the drive unit 50. For example, the light source unit 10A includes a light emitting element 11A configured to output a red light beam, and a collimating lens 12A placed on an optical path of the red light beam. For example, the light emitting element 11A includes one or a plurality of semiconductor lasers, or one or a plurality of light emitting diodes. The light emitting element 11A is capable of outputting red light of a 650 nm band.
The red collimated light output from e light source unit 10A scans the target surface St via the movable mirror 20. In this way, it is possible to project nail art designs not on a screen but on actual fingers. The user can check positions and sizes of the nail art designs on the fingers. In addition, it is also possible for the display unit 70 to display an image of a state in which the red light is projected on the nails. The image is captured by the imaging unit 40. In addition, the red collimated light output from the light source unit 10A is used not only in the case of showing the positions and the sizes of the nail art designs to the user, but also in the case of showing a place to be covered by paint in the nail art creation process to the user. Next, how to use the application example A will be described with reference to
As illustrated in
The light source unit 10B is capable of outputting collimated light on the basis of a driving signal from the drive unit 50. For example, the light source unit 10B includes a light emitting element 11B configured to output a blue light beam, and a collimating lens 12A placed on an optical path of the blue light beam. For example, the light emitting element 11B includes one or a plurality of semiconductor lasers, or one or a plurality of light emitting diodes. The light emitting element 11B is capable of outputting blue light of a 455 nm band.
The light source unit 10C is capable of outputting collimated light on the basis of a driving signal from the drive unit 50. For example, the light source unit 10C includes a light emitting element 11C configured to output a green light beam, and a collimating lens 12C placed on an optical path of the green light beam. For example, the light emitting element 11C includes one or a plurality of semiconductor lasers, or one or a plurality of light emitting diodes. The light emitting element 11C is capable of outputting green light of a 532 nm band.
In a way similar to the modification A, the light source unit 10A includes the light emitting element 11A and the collimating lens 12A. The light emitting element 11A is capable of outputting red light of the 650 nm band.
The red, blue, and green collimated light (RGB light) output from the light source units 10A, 10B, and 10C scans the target surface St via the movable mirror 20. In this way, it is possible to project nail art designs not on a screen but on actual fingers by using the RGB light of visible sensitive region, and this enables virtual trial fitting. Note that, it is also possible for the display unit 70 to display an image of a state in which the RGB light is projected on the nails. The image is captured by the imaging unit 40. Next, how to use the application example B will be described with reference to
As illustrated in
In addition, according to the embodiment, it is also possible to detect states of fingers and nails of a user, compare them with general average values or previous data of the user, calculate dryness levels of the fingers and the nails of the user and thickness of the nails, and propose ways to care for them.
The control unit 60 quantifies surface states, shapes, and sizes of nails through image capturing, measurement of reflection of light radiated from a laser, or the like. Note that, it is possible to measure the thickness of nails not only from information of surfaces of the nails, but also from a captured image of nails from a lateral direction.
As described above, by using the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to improve convenience of nail art creation systems and attach additional values to provision of nail art designs.
The preferred embodiment(s) of the present disclosure has/have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, whilst the present disclosure is not limited to the above examples. A person skilled in the art may find various alterations and modifications within the scope of the appended claims, and it should be understood that they will naturally come under the technical scope of the present disclosure.
For example, it is also possible to create a computer program for causing hardware such as a CPU, ROM, and RAM, which are embedded in the above described nail art creation device 100 and display device 200, to execute the functions of the nail art creation device 100 and the display device 200. Moreover, it is possible to provide a computer-readable storage medium having the computer program stored therein.
Note that, the nail art creation device 100 according to the embodiment is configured to generate optical products by carrying out a scan with ultraviolet light from a laser or an LED as collimated light via a MEMS mirror or the like. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, it is possible to create optical products through projection. In the projection, a reflective projector is used. The reflective projector uses a digital mirror device (DMD) mirror such as Liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS), an MEMS mirror, or the like. In the case of the projection, it is necessary to adjust focus, in contrast to scanning.
In addition, the optical modeling device configured to utilize solidification of paint under laser light is used as an example of the nail art creation. However, the nail art creation device according to the embodiment is not limited thereto. It is also possible to use a device configured to create nail art on nails by applying paint through ink jet.
Further, the effects described in this specification are merely illustrative or exemplified effects, and are not limitative. That is, with or in the place of the above effects, the technology according to the present disclosure may achieve other effects that are clear to those skilled in the art from the description of this specification.
