Thermal Imaging

Augmented reality company Metaio is developing "Thermal Touch," a technology that combines infrared and visible light cameras to detect the heat signature from your fingers and turn any object into a touchscreen.

Researchers at the Multimedia University (MMU) in Malaysia have developed an omnidirectional thermal visualizer that provides a 360-degree view of the area under surveillance enabling authorities at airports and borders to monitor more than one lane at a time

Technological advances aren't just about making new devices. Many times it's more a matter of taking an existing device and improving on it. A case in point is Raytheon’s new thermal imaging chip that the company says will be so small and cheap, that it may make the humble flashlight obsolete.

A team of researchers from the University of Michigan (U-M) have created an ultrathin graphene-based light detector that has the potential to put infrared heat detecting technology into a contact lens.

FLIR Systems, Inc. announced two new products at CES designed to put thermal imaging into the hands of consumers. The first is an OEM module, while the second is an iPhone attachment that makes use of said module.

DARPA is working on a five-micron LWIR camera that is small enough to be carried by individual soldiers.

The IR-Blue is a thermal imaging module for iOS and Android smartphones.

A theoretically perfect optical absorber has been invented and demonstrated by researchers at Harvard University.

New video software may be able to tell if someone is intoxicated, by scanning their face.

The new Night Vision iPhone Adapter turns your iPhone into a night vision display and camera.

A new system for checking the quality of wood involves vibrating it at a rate of 20,000 times per second.

A study by UC San Diego researchers says rooftop photovoltaic solar panels aren't just generating green electricity, they're also helping keep buildings cool.
