The Warmth of Projection thermometer aimed to eliminate the anxiety people experience when taking their temperature, especially during a pandemic. During use, the temperature is projected onto the user’s arm via an LED rather than on a display, shifting the user’s attention away from the coldness of a device and fear of the results. By reducing excessive attention on the thermometer and the outcome, it lends a sense of relaxation and warmth, especially at time when people are experiencing added stress.
