Thermotaxis got the award on "Architecture, Art and Culture" division in Laval-Virtual 2009!2009 Thermotaxis
A thermal spot has power to encourage people to gather together. The work Thermotaxis characterizes to the existing
space by providing people with non-visual thermal information. In this work, the space is characterized as being cool or
warm as invisible virtual thermal field. By manipulating thermal information, we can easily change implicit partitioning of
the space without reconstructing physical materials, such as walls or partitions. The earmuff device gives sensations of
cool and warm to users by controlling thermoelectric devices wirelessly. People experience the difference in
temperatures while they walk in the space.
