Pour choisir sa coiffure depuis son cellulaire
Le Japon et la Corée me fascinent lorsqu'on parle de nouvelles technologies. Voici un belle exemple de cela:
Une application cellulaire permettant d'essayer virtuellement des coupes de cheveux.

Une idée et un modèle d'affaires tout simple.
À visiter (en japonais par contre).
