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.
