The Establishment and Usability Evaluation on a Markerless AR-Based Hairstyle Simulation System

In this work, the authors combine the AR and HCI techniques to develop a Markerless AR-based Hairstyle Simulation System (MARHSS). This system helps hairstylists to know well the expectation and need of customers. Before the hair cut, the customers can select their preferred hairstyles from MARHSS. Then, the system will simulate the hair style on the customer's face through the AR-based image. After the system design, the System Usability Scale (SUS) with seventy-two participants were employed to evaluate the interface design of MARHSS. The research results showed that the system is usable; participants emotionally satisfied with the system; the system provides a good environment for hair stylists and customers to discuss the hairstyles.
