Virtu AI
Virtu AI is a web platform for designing personalized press-on nails. Users describe an idea in a simple sentence, and artificial intelligence generates a matching nail set. Computer vision segmentation separates each nail tip, so a set of ten individual nails can be designed and matched with existing colors. Completed designs are then sent to skilled artisans, who craft and ship the finished press-on nails. Navigation is kept simple, so people without technical knowledge can create custom nail art and turn personal ideas into wearable objects.
