Huawei is working on a 3D camera technology that should make it possible to analyze one’s face and skin structure, a new patent has revealed.

The patent was filed by the company with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in July 2021 and was released on 27 January 2022 (via LetsGoDigital). The 43-page documentation details a triple camera system capable of taking 3D facial images with the goal of performing accurate facial analysis.

The cameras have been positioned accordingly, with the first and second cameras being perpendicular to each other. The third camera is placed in between the two and at the center of the camera module lies a large display.

However, Huawei may implement the camera technology in a way it sees fit since the patent is actually a “utility patent.” A couple of the different ways are as an optional accessory or even as a removable camera.

During recording, on-screen instructions for capturing a complete 3D model of the face will be provided. It is likely that you’ll have to move your head around for the process. While the system is designed for human faces, it also recognizes animals like cats and dogs.

The output following the process will be some elaborate details about your pores, wrinkles, acne, blackheads, color spots, red region, dark eyes, or a combination of these. Tips and recommendations will be provided accordingly to help improve the condition of the skin.
