#2Nice, happy ghost hunting everyone!

#3Even better: the Thermal Flashlight. Makes a cruder picture, but way cheaper:

#4So they built basically an IR tracker. Talk about dual use.

#5Interesting I didn't think it could be done.
From that I understand normal thermal cameras can't have a silicon CCD and need to be actively cooled.

#6Very cool, however I would not fix the cold air spots as they help a lot to prevent indoor air pollution.

Actively cooled IR sensors can achieve higher resolution and accuracy, but ambient temperature IR sensors have been around for a while. As long as the incident IR can drive the sensor element away from ambient temperature, then you can have sensing.

Or use a heat exchanger.

PLOTS (Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science) is worth checking out. They're a group that's trying to put technology into the hands of citizens to make a difference.
