Nail Salon Tryon: NailARVR

NailARVR is a real-time virtual nail salon try-on application developed by EDGIST Labs. It uses on-device augmented reality and machine learning to let users visualize nail designs, gel coats, and salon treatments directly on their hands with sub-50ms latency spatial tracking.

Core Capabilities

NailARVR provides a comprehensive suite of augmented reality features designed for both consumers exploring nail designs and salon professionals showcasing their services.

  • Real-Time AR Nail Visualization

    Users point their device camera at their hands to instantly preview nail polish colors, gel coats, nail art patterns, and French tip designs rendered in real-time with sub-50ms latency.

  • Extensive Design Library

    Access a curated catalog of nail designs including solid colors, ombre gradients, glitter overlays, geometric patterns, and seasonal collections updated regularly.

  • Salon Discovery & Booking

    Location-based salon finder with verified listings, service menus, pricing comparisons, user reviews, and in-app appointment booking.

  • AI Color Matching

    On-device machine learning analyzes skin tone and lighting conditions to recommend complementary nail colors and designs personalized to each user.

Technology Stack

NailARVR is built on a native-first architecture leveraging Apple and Google platform frameworks for maximum performance and deterministic rendering. The application does not rely on cross-platform abstractions, ensuring the lowest possible latency for real-time AR experiences.
