Heat sensation in image creation with thermal vision

We introduce how to involve the heat sensation in image creation by using thermal vision. We develop ”ThermoTablet” which can detect touch regions of physical input objects on a sensing surface using changes of a temperature distribution of the surface when those objects are hotter or colder than the surface. Image creation applications of painting, image modifications are implemented on it. In the painting application, users can directly use physical paintbrushes and airbrushes with hot water in spite of paint, and even use their own fingers, hands, and breaths directly. ”ThermoInk” transforms the temperature information into a variation of painting. Image modification application aims an intuitive user interface for color saturation modification, hue modification, shape modification and CAD model deformation which are strongly related to heat sensations.
