Abstract
An apparatus and method is provided for teaching cosmetology. The apparatus includes a sensor and a computer-based controller. In operation, the sensor senses a cosmetology student performing a cosmetology operation and generates a sensor signal in response thereto. The controller processes the sensor signal and based thereon generates a control signal for displaying the cosmetology operation in a virtual manner on a video display.
Claims20
An apparatus for teaching cosmetology, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one sensor for body sensing a cosmetology student performing a cosmetology operation and for generating a sensor signal in response thereto;
- and
- a computer-based controller including a processor operable to execute software instructions, a computer memory operable to store software instructions accessible by the processor, and a set of software instructions stored in the memory to process the sensor signal and based thereon generate a control signal for displaying the cosmetology operation in a virtual manner on a video display to facilitate teaching the cosmetology operation.
An apparatus for teaching cosmetology to a cosmetology student, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one sensor to sense body movement of the cosmetology student performing at least one cosmetology operation and to generate a sensor signal indicating the body movement;
- a computer-based controller including a processor operable to execute software instructions, a computer memory operable to store software instructions accessible by the processor, and a set of software instructions stored in the memory to determine the body movement based on the sensor signal and to generate a control signal based on the body movement for displaying the cosmetology operation in a virtual manner to facilitate teaching the cosmetology operation.
A method of teaching cosmetology, the method comprising:
- sensing a cosmetology student performing a cosmetology operation;
- generating a sensor signal in response to the sensing;
- processing the sensor signal to generate a control signal;
- and
- displaying the cosmetology operation in a virtual manner based on the control signal to facilitate teaching the cosmetology operation.
