Open Access

Figures & Tables

Figure 1

The multimodal affordances of interacting with a thermal camera and rendered IR images include the possible coordination of visual, tactile and verbal modes of communication.

Figure 2

Examples of different events that occurred during the multimodal laboratory POE tasks. Pupils provide temperature predictions of a metal and wooden object (left). Pupils point the camera toward the thumbs of a peer while observing contact with a knife and piece of wood (right).

Figure 3

Snapshot of the piece of wood and the metal knife (left); snapshot of the projected IR image of the two objects on a large screen.

Figure 4

Snapshots of the projected IR images of the objects after a learner has held his thumbs in contact with them for 2 minutes. The knife has been heated evenly (left); the temperature of the wood has increased at the area of local thumb contact (right).
