Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of generating a visual model specific to a user for personal care education, said computer-implemented method comprising: receiving from a user a request for instruction regarding a personal care product; receiving data from the user defining physical characteristics of the user that relate to the personal care product; generating, by a processor, a three-dimensional model of the user as a function of the received data and the personal care product, wherein the three-dimensional model includes at least one internal detail of a body of the user; generating, by a processor, a visual representation of the three-dimensional model comprising an animation demonstrating a procedure for use of the personal care product on the user via the generated visual representation, wherein the generated visual representation includes a transparent illustration of the body of the user, and the transparent illustration allows an interaction of the personal care product with the internal detail to be visible; providing the generated visual representation to the user for display; and enabling the user to manipulate the provided visual representation of the generated three-dimensional model in three dimensions.
