- Kinisi is an FX e-makeup application. Kinisi tries to answer the question: "Could your skin act as an interface?" As a result, group of peruvian profesionals meet together for answering it with the following video: Kinisi could change the world with a smile, a wink, raising her eyebrow or closing her lips. As you can see in the video, each of these muscle movements will trigger different light patterns. Larca Meicap, a special effects makeup artist, combined her FX materials with our Beauty Technology sensors for precisely applying them on specific muscles. LEDs were also hidden on the skin and hair. Digital signals collected by the sensors are sent to a microcontroller that activates a light sequence on Kisini's face and hair. Credits:
