CES 2025: AI-powered beauty mirrors and robot pets among gadgets on display
Share:
The first gadget announcements to come out of the CES technology show suggest health and beauty will be one of the key themes of the annual electronics convention in Las Vegas. The trade show doesn’t officially open its doors until Tuesday, but many of the thousands of companies exhibiting at the event have begun unveiling the innovations they have been working on, with artificial intelligence-powered health screening emerging as a key trend.
On Sunday evening, tech giant Samsung unveiled a beauty mirror as part of its latest wave of smart home updates, with the device taking a short scan of a user’s face before using AI to analyse and flag any potential issues around wrinkles, pores, skin colouring or redness spotted on the skin.
Then, as part of a link-up with a South Korean beauty firm, the mirror can also recommend products based on the user’s perceived needs. This AI-based, personalised approach to skincare has been seen in an announcement from skincare giant L’Oreal, who have unveiled a new tabletop device which contains a so-called “lab-on-a-chip” that analyses a skin sample gathered from a strip placed onto the cheek for several minutes.
Set to be first utilised in stores, the Cell BioPrint device combines its AI-powered analysis with photos taken of a user’s face to offer up a range of insights, L’Oreal says – including the skin’s age, any potential issues it sees may arise in the future, and which ingredients skin may be more responsive too, to help users find the most suitable cosmetic products for them.
