Written by Groucho on July 31, 2008 under News

Just when you think that only information and updates are the only things that widgets can provide, ModiFace Inc. has turned towards widgets to help in handling style and makeovers for better personal beauty. So for people who want to play around with how they would want a look, hairstyles paired with an uploaded high-quality frontal personal photo and you are on your way.

So score one more advantage for widget technology as they now cover the area of beauty and improvement. Hairstyling online was something that nobody expected to happen and through proper directives and uploaded hair styles to choose from on the servers of affiliated and partner sites of ModiFace, people can see which fancies them the best.

“The new widgets are fully-functional and customizable for the partner site,” remarked Lisa Leung, Director of Operations at ModiFace, Inc. “For example, for the hairstyling widget, website administrators and partner companies can upload and modify their own model hairstyles as often as they wish in order to offer whatever combination of hairstyles they desire.”

The hairstyling widget is based on the popular HairMixer application, which simulates what users would look like with virtually any hairstyle they can find on the web. A user can simply upload a high-quality frontal personal photo and choose the hairstyle that they would most like to have replicated. The application employs its unique face-recognition technology to coordinate the new hairstyle with the face represented in the original photo. The resulting simulation is a realistic representation of the photo’s subject wearing the desired hairstyle.

So with this simulation and option made available these days to people particular about beauty and looks, technology now offers a wider array of options that pry away widgets mainly from being used as channels for updates and networking.
