Interactive Design of Auxiliary Makeup APP for People with Abnormal Color Perception Based on the Concept of “Inclusive Design”

Abstract

With at least 70 million men and 7 million women in China suffering from colour blindness, there is a huge demand for make-up colour aids. Make-up requires an overall control of colour, but people with abnormal colour vision are unable to judge and select their own make-up and colour combinations when applying make-up, which can greatly affect the effect of make-up, so this research has huge potential for application.

This paper firstly collects user needs for supplementary make-up products by means of secondary data surveys and user interviews, secondly uses the AHP method to obtain a weighting of user needs, and finally transforms user needs through an inclusive design method and outputs a final solution. By optimising the experience, functionality and visual requirements, the app scans faces and distinguishes colours for colour entry and contrast correction through face recognition technology, and provides colour matching solutions and make-up tips based on colour diagnosis to help people with colour vision abnormalities solve their make-up problems.
