ARCHIVED PROJECT · 2021–2022
BEAUER was an AI-powered at-home skin intelligence device combining embedded imaging, intelligent cleansing guidance, mobile computer vision, and longitudinal skin tracking
Most people stop cleansing when their skin feels clean. But invisible residue may remain, while repeated cleansing can go too far. At the same time, visible changes in the skin are difficult to evaluate without a consistent record
Invisible makeup and oil-based residue may remain after the skin appears clean
Repeated or aggressive cleansing may disrupt the skin's natural balance
Without consistent imaging, it is difficult to understand whether visible skin concerns are improving, stable, or changing
Clean with precision
Detect what remains
Track what changes
THE ROUTINE
01
Use BEAUER as part of the daily cleansing routine, with adjustable cleansing intensity and guided facial-zone timing
02
The embedded macro imaging system captures details that are difficult to evaluate with the naked eye
03
The companion application processes the captured images to identify visible residue, cleansing quality, and observable skin conditions
04
Each session contributes to a longer-term visual record, helping users understand how their skin and routine change over time
EMBEDDED VISION SYSTEM
BEAUER brought visual sensing into a daily beauty object, capturing information that the eye could easily miss
Macro visual data collected through the device
Images processed through the connected mobile AI system
Feedback translated into actionable cleansing guidance
Captured on device. Analyzed through the companion app

AT-HOME SKIN INTELLIGENCE
BEAUER was designed not only to evaluate one cleansing session, but to build a consistent visual record of the skin — session by session, week by week
Guided zone-by-zone session

Longitudinal skin record
Concept interface based on the 2021–2022 product vision
PHYSICAL AI, EARLY
BEAUER connected physical sensing, computer vision, software intelligence, and human action in a continuous feedback loop

PROJECT CONTEXT · 2021–2022
Developed between 2021 and 2022, BEAUER was an early-stage intelligent beauty hardware project exploring how embedded sensing, computer vision, and mobile AI could support at-home cleansing and longitudinal skin management
The project was developed through multiple generations of hardware and software prototypes and received early-stage backing from DJI-syndicate investors during its development
The project was archived in 2022

BEAUER was an early experience at the intersection of hardware, sensing, AI, design, and human behavior. It continues to shape how I think about intelligence moving beyond the screen and into the physical world
