ABSTRACT
We present ThermoBlinds, a non-contact, highly responsive thermal feedback device for thermal interactions. It provides responsive feedback by rapidly adjusting infrared irradiance with a shutter mechanism. The feedback can be applied according to visual media contents to reproduce thermal experiences. By providing thermal feedback in accordance with the user’s gaze, it is possible to create a visual media experience with a high resolution thermal sensation. Additionally, it supports remote communication by providing thermal feedback based on the other person’s gaze.

High-Speed Non-Contact Thermal Display Using Infrared Rays and Shutter Mechanism
UbiComp/ISWC '21 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 2021 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Proceedings of the 2021 ACM International Symposium on Wearable ComputersConsiderable literature has explored the topic of haptics, including thermal presentation, in virtual reality (VR). However, the existing thermal presentation methods have limitations such as low responsiveness and need for contacts. As such, this ...
Creating Thermal Icons—A Model-Based Approach
The objective of this set of experiments was to evaluate thermal pattern recognition on the hand and arm and to determine which features of thermal stimuli are encoded by cutaneous thermoreceptors and perceived by the user of a thermal display. Thermal ...
Characterizing the Space by Thermal Feedback through a Wearable Device
VMR '09: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Virtual and Mixed Reality: Held as Part of HCI International 2009Thermal sensation is a kind of a haptic sensation and is very familiar feeling. However it is difficult to realize a thermal display which gives realistic thermal feedback because thermal characteristic has a larger ambiguity and is late-response. ...
