Thermal VR

Thermal VR is an innovative system that integrates thermal feedback into virtual reality environments to enhance architectural design processes. By combining heat emitters with VR goggles, the system allows the user to experience both the thermal and visual aspects of architectural designs, offering a more immersive and intuitive evaluation. This approach, tested in virtual office settings, demonstrates the potential for climate-aware design.
