Spectricity has a new target for the startups true colour camera: skin care analysis.
Spectricitys uniquecamera systemwill collect the underlying images.
The tiny snapper is powered by a multispectral sensor, which measures light from 16 colour channels.
Multispectral sensors expand the spectrum.
The result, Spectricity says, is unprecedented colour accuracy and enriched visualdata.
Both these benefits have promise for skin care analysis.
Enhanced colour fidelity could enhance cosmetic recommendations.
Spectral data, meanwhile, could reveal skin biomarkers, such as oxygenation, blood volume, and melanin.
Lululab will now bring these insights to the companys skin analysis platform.
Smarter skin care?
By integrating Spectricitys camera, Lululab hopes to reveal previously hidden skin condition data.
Users could then access personalised advice from their mobile devices.
But for Spectricity, skin care is just the start.
The company envisionsendless applicationsfor its sensor, from photography and e-commerce to fraud detection and smart gardening.
In January, thestartupshowcased the camera ina smartphonefor the first time.
By 2026, Spectricity expects the sensor to become mainstream on mobile devices.
