Tailoring Imaging Technology for Turkish consumers<\/b><\/p>\n

Led by Associate Professor Aykut Co\u015fkun<\/span>, an internationally renowned design researcher and the director of the KUAR research center, the project merges technology with user-centered design. With a specific focus on understanding Turkish consumers’ aesthetic sensibilities and skin tone preferences, the study utilizing surveys, structured interviews, and field studies, the study will investigate Turkish consumers’ portrait photography habits and preferences, the behaviors and decisions associated with typical photo taking, editing, and posting experience, problems they encountered during this process, and their portrait photography taking experience with TECNO smartphones.<\/p>\n

Prof. Co\u015fkun expressed his enthusiasm and commented, “This partnership is an exciting opportunity to bridge academic research with real-world technological innovation. Enabling the exploration and integration of user insights into development efforts in smartphone photography, it has the potential to redefine this process from a user-centered lens.”<\/p>\n

Delivering Fully Enhanced and Inclusive Portraits by AI-driven Universal Tone <\/b><\/p>\n

Results from the studies will play a pivotal role in enhancing TECNO Universal Tone technology. Unveiled in 2023, Universal Tone is a comprehensive multi-skin tone imaging solution that has been continuously evolving and will be integrated into the latest CAMON 40 series.<\/p>\n

This technology incorporates three key engines: The Multi-Skin Tone Restoration Engine, the Local Tuning Engine, and the AI-Powered Computational Portrait Engine. The Local-Tuning Engine adapts imaging solutions to diverse environmental factors, including lighting conditions, geomorphological landscapes, and color temperatures, to deliver outputs harmonized with local aesthetics. Meanwhile, the AI-Powered Computational Portrait Engine utilizes TECNO’s self-developed algorithms to create personalized portrait imaging experiences, aligning with cultural and aesthetic preferences unique to each region. This partnership will provide users worldwide with imaging experiences that align with their preferences and local aesthetics.<\/p>\n

TECNO’s journey is marked by strategic partnerships with esteemed academic institutions, including the University of Leeds in the UK, Nanyang Technological University<\/span> in Singapore<\/span>, and Dar Al-Hekma University in Saudi Arabia<\/span>. As part of TECNO’s “Glocalization” strategy, these partnerships highlight the brand’s commitment to adapting global innovations to meet the unique demands of local markets. These efforts have been crucial in refining TECNO’s technology, enabling it to accurately depict a spectrum of skin colors and satisfy the aesthetic preferences of various regions.<\/p>\n

With a mission to ensure that every consumer of diverse skin tone in emerging markets is accurately represented in our imagery, TECNO has been continuously enhancing imaging technologies and paving the way for a future, where every individual’s beauty is captured with precision and respect.<\/p>\n
