Description

This paper presents a novel projection-based mixed reality (MR) system for visually enhancing the temperature distribution of user's body and his/her immediate environment by projection of a thermal image of the scene. Users of this system, which we call ThermoReality, can intuitively understand the heat phenomena on real objects, since the temperature distributions are seamlessly exposed onto them. The authors aim to exhibit the proposed system in a kind of science museum and open it up to the public. In this exhibition, visitors enjoy learning about the heat phenomena in their activity spaces. The heat phenomena which are visualized in the system can surprise visitors since such phenomena cannot be imagined in their daily lives. The authors believe that the system would be a trigger for visitors to get interested in the heat phenomena and understand them in more scientific detail.
