Special Website:
CES is a technology expo in Las Vegas, USA, where cutting-edge products from around the world gather. In 2024, it became a large-scale event with over 4,300 exhibitor booths and more than 0.13 million visitors. Our company made its first appearance in 2023 and provided MR makeup simulation experiences using high-speed projection mapping. We received positive feedback such as 'amazement and inspiration' from many of the over 1,200 visitors, who felt the new possibilities for self-expression. Therefore, we have determined that this service has the potential to pioneer new possibilities in makeup and has versatile applications in entertainment and various other areas, and have been progressing with considerations towards commercialization. At our directly managed stores in Japan, customers can experience MR makeup of this service, leading to makeup suggestions tailored to each individual, and we aim to expand sales as a service based on this knowledge.
This time, together with Tokyo Electron Devices Inc., which provides the special projector, a key component of this service, we will exhibit at 'CES 2025', where experiences and discussions on the service can be conducted globally. Based on the reactions received at this booth, we will further enhance the service and explore the expansion of commercial viability not only in the beauty field but also in other areas.
