Abstract
A dialog based speech user interface was designed and implemented for a cosmetic facial makeup support system for visually impaired persons. The system helps visually impaired women to makeup her lips, eye blows, and eye shadows using lip sticks, eye blow pencils, and eye shadows. It works as an intelligent dressing mirror using image recognition technologies to judge her performances and to advice corrections. To communicate between the system and users, a dialog based speech user interface is used. Although the system is still a prototype, it was confirmed that the system is usable and useful.
