Prepared for Lyric & Dianne Brown · JoziGirl Cosmetics
A web-first virtual try-on experience tuned for African skin tones and textured hair, engineered by the Lumanaire AI fleet. Shorter timeline, local team, honest pricing — with a defensible moat that global SDK vendors can't build.
You built JoziGirl to serve a market the global giants have historically underserved. The technology you deploy should match that ambition — not import it.
Perfect Corp, ModiFace and Banuba built excellent AR SDKs — but their shade libraries were built in Seoul, Paris and Tel Aviv. They under-match African foundation and under-classify coily hair. Here's what we build that they can't.
A foundation-shade grid spanning Fitzpatrick IV–VI with African undertone ranges — neutral, red, olive, golden, deep — that global SDKs underrepresent. Training data stays in SA. POPIA-compliant. Your IP at project end.
On-device 3A–4C classifier fine-tuned on a local dataset.
NaviLens codes on every SKU. First SA cosmetics brand with the story.
A production-grade virtual try-on web app with checkout, admin, and analytics. MediaPipe for face tracking, DeepAR for hair. Your shade library and classifier sit on top — that's the IP we build for you.
The "Pharaoh Code" concept is essentially NaviLens — already deployed at Tesco Ireland, Kellogg's, NYC MTA. Rather than clone it and risk IP claims, we position JoziGirl as NaviLens's South African launch partner.
