Thanks for hanging out and subjecting yourself to the thermal headset Louis! If you want to spend too much money on complicated projects, you know where I am. For everyone else, if you want to see dumb things over-engineered, check out some of my other stuff.

Imagine opening an oven and seeing a massive orange cloud blasting towards you

It'd be cool to do this with an assortment of cameras that randomly rotate. So night vision, thermal, Regular etc (I think 3 examples is enough)

4:06 "As I got closer I saw the outline of a mother cradling her child comfortingly" "You're looking at a blank wall" Oh. There's ghosts in there.

"Where did you procure those eggs?" "I procured them over here" "hell yeah"

Cooking in thermal vision sounds really fun because you get to see everything heating up.

The art gallery experience had me in stiches!

it would be interesting to be able to combine the ir image data with visible light, hot things would be slightly tinted and brighter overlaid

I think this might have been a little easier if he still had depth perception aha

TBH thermal cameras aren't really that different from regular cameras. The difference is in the wavelengths they capture. If the temperature had been some 800-900C greater normal cameras would start detecting heat as well, and so would our eyes.

What a cool idea! So interesting seeing what you lose when you switch to thermal vision and what you gain.

Hey Louis you should come hang out! Totally just because you are a fun guy, and not because I need you to stare at the multiple thermally critical projects I'm working on...

3:48 I laughed pretty hard. But when he said “they seemed nice!” I laughed even harder 😂

The NVGs that the Marines use have a different gradient than that IR camera. It's really cool to look through a set if you ever get the chance.

That is a much better title then "I was a predator for 50 hours"

This is like some future next gen test. Imagine this being something normal later on.

The cold and hot water mixing looks amazing!

It would be really cool to have thermal vision completely integrated and be able to just toggle it on and off, I don't think anyone would get bored of it

"and this is my life in hindsight" Now this one's gonna be a good video

This is an interesting experiment, sorta makes you think about the challenges that people with low vision (legal blindness) would face

At 4:08 I was laughing because how can a person see a mother cradling a baby in a blank wall 😂😂

hilarious video Louis. this nust have given you a mad headache. Cool that you're going to be training with marines, that sounds crazy. also the shirt you copped looks good lmao

4:22 bro living in the retro dimension

I can recognize Pittsburgh’s T stations in any type of vision apparently, so cool seeing familiar landmarks

I love these types of challenge videos. Keep it up!

This is so cool, imagine being able to see just as clearly in pitch black as in daylight

I could see you involving tools to help you see things like a mobile hair dryer or an ice pack.

Reminds me of wandering around in training with the Army with night vision goggles. You have no depth perception or perspective but you really can see in pitch black.

So now we can understand how The Predator lives. Tough life in an alien planet...

Some thing I always thought was a cool idea is when we get a little more cyberpunk like and start adding parts to our bodies is to have as many kinds of mini sensors as possible in a line where my eye brows use to be. thermal, RF, IR, magnetic, night vision, lidar and as many others that exist as possible. Maybe non-visuals installed some where else if there's no room.

Thermal vision is a truly remarkable technology that has revolutionized the way we perceive and interact with the world around us. Personally, I love using my P2 Pro thermal camera for things like checking my house or wildlife observation. It's really a game-changing technology.

1:47 "They detect the exact amount of heat hitting each pixel on the sensor." I really dislike it when textbooks and teachers describe infrared radiation as being synonymous with the word "heat." This obviously isn't a criticism for Louis, just me venting about the way things are widely described and taught. It might be pedantic to some people, but when I was first learning physics, I found this unbelievably confusing. People would just say "infrared (heat)" or vise versa, which frustrated me, because how could a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation alone encompass the entire concept of "heat." It took a while before I received a satisfactory explanation-that there are three main ways to transfer heat, conduction (direct contact), convection (where a surface conducts to fluid which can carry heat away and the energy imparted to it enhances this flow), and radiation (where hot objects emit electromagnetic energy mostly, but not exclusively, in the infrared spectrum, and this energy can then be absorbed by an object, heating it up). And importantly, one of the things we call heat is also known as enthalpy, and on a molecular level it can basically be thought of as random, disordered kinetic energy. I'm sure that's still a huge, middle school level simplification, but for me, it was descriptive enough that I understood that heat wasn't just one thing, especially not just another word for infrared, and this was one of those understandings that was nontrivial for me; it really changed the way I looked at everyday life. You obviously can't fit this whole description in every time you offhandedly say what thermal vision does. I just suspect that students would be less confused if we just said they "detect infrared radiation, which can indicate a surface's temperature," or something like that. Since other factors, like reflectiveness/albedo, and a material's thermal conductivity, can also affect the input to an infrared sensor, right? IDK, maybe this is just a me problem and I'm complaining over nothing. It's just something I've always thought about and wondered if anyone else had this problem.

So sick Louis! Glad I was able to make it out and film you eating raw food and riding on scooters hahah!

6:05 water cool

That was so cool! I can feel the fascination of simple things through this video as well! I wonder how hard it would be to see outside a city with fewer heat sources around, especially at night.

Thermal cameras don't show heat, they show infrared radiation. It just happens to be the case that things at everyday temperatures mainly emit in IR. In many ways a thermal camera works exactly like a normal visual light camera, since IR radiation behaves very similar to visual radiation.

Companies after pride month: 0:33

Makes me wonder how technology, infrastructure, and the world would look if we had thermal imagining capabilities in our eyes instead of visible light

Damn, pleasantly surprised at the quality of this video! Keep reppin the ‘Burgh, subscribed

2:13 why is it always primal instinct to write hi whenever people figure out you can write with something not meant to write😂

Louis out here living like The Predator 💀 Now I REALLY dont believe that they see in thermal vision since they have screens

This was so much better than expected

Cool experiment thank you for sharing.

Love the pride support at the begginning! 👍

AR glasses + IR camera might be a pretty good kitchen tool lol

6:34 that's because you cant see in 3D troughth the camera

what we need is a headset that maps IR -> red, red -> green, and green -> blue. this vision would be incredible, more so than any traditional head set. another option is IR->red, plus green & blue as themselves

4:04 To be fair, that's still a pretty accurate experience going to an art gallery.

4:54 made me laugh

Be interesting to see UV, infared and visible blended together.

glad to see you're not running out of ideas, this had my interest throughout the entire video

Since I have a phone with thermal vision as one of the camera modules I completely understand firsthand why you did this video 😂 it's awesome stuff.

I did not expect this to be military propaganda when I started the video, but maybe that's on me

This is fantastic! I thought about doing something similar with 360 vision. It would be a wrap around head set, I think I calculated 6 cameras minimum for no blind spots past arm's length, 8 would be optimal. I just don't have the means to make it, nor that level of programming ability.

I was legit about to make one of these with my thermal cam. Pretty cool that this came out

Trying this with a lidar camera / sensor would be interesting to see.

I think you forgot about depth perception, but i guess it would cost 5 grand more.

Hope you had fun in Pittsburgh, totally not biased at all

"Whered you procure those eggs" is the best way to word it. Procure is such a good word

Try it with a black and white/monochrome filter like you're living in a noir film.

Wait, so mirrors also reflect heat?

6:33 Regarding frisbee. The camera being few cm higher than the eyes probably fucks with your hand-camera coordination. Also latency might be an issue if the system is too slow.

0:01 bro do you not have fingernails

Is it just me or does thermal vision seem *extremely* useful for cars? Like, with the scooter on that path the path was clear as day. I'm not exactly talking for human use, but for self driving AI it seems like thermal vision could provide really, really clear images of roads in certain conditions to help. Like it would be a great feature to corroborate visual and other sensor data.

I don't consider myself a full fledged geek, but I love all things scientific. So this is pretty cool. Good job presenting the in's and out's of this challenge. It was fun to watch.🤓👍🏼👍🏼🔬🧬

I lost it when the dude walked up with the stone cold pizza

This video being sponsored by the US marines is the weirdest thing.

can't believe I got tricked into watching a military recruitment ad

3:06 bro why'd you step on the lava you're burning!!

IT IS PITTSBURGH!!! I thought I recognized it! Ma hometown!

i was not expecting military propaganda lol

It would be awesome if you used two cameras for depth perception!

honestly a standalone video of "everyday life in thermal vision" would be really cool

The US Military has now sponsored a mad scientist. What a world

You can have blind mode android/IOS voice activated, with full control. #BlindSurfer

0:50 I think that's normal on pride parades.

its nice you can see the thermal paper in action with the receipt

Great video!

This is such a cool idea! Living as a predator for 50 hours.

wow vury awsum

This is literally what the concept in my head looks like!!! I would love some info/help on how to build one of these goggles.

This man is a clear example of improvise, adapt, overcome

0:20 ur lucky to not see what theyre doing and unlucky to support them without knowing lol

Pittsburgh?

That thumbnail is amazing, I don't know how you would even begin to come up with that.

Try LIDAR next, that'd be cool

What's up with all those gays?

Gay parrade at the start of the video? Ngl i think you need to go turkey mate wrong country

This reminds me of a thought experiment I had a long time ago, thinking about passive-nightvision, active-nightvision, thermal vision, x-ray vision from Metroid Prime 1, and the Echo-Visor from Metroid Prime 2. If I had to choose between being blind, black & white, or one of those, which would I choose. I choose Black & White with greyscale of course. But the others were so tempting. Light amplifying passive or active night vision is great, I can see when normal people can't, but enough light for them to see, overwhelms & blinds me. X-Ray turns the whole world into wire-frame graphics, like an ancient video game, helpful to find things inside things, but I may crash into everything, like people walking into clean glass doors. Then, finally, thermal and SEEING ECHO-LOCATION, are so great for pitch black, where there's no light to amplify, no powersource if IR lights, and can see unique things based on temperature, or density, whatever, but just removes any detail or paint on a surface. And all screens just become unusable, and I love gaming & videos, so no. Black & White over being blind. 2nd place, is monochrome grey light amplifying. Mono chrome green is horrendous. Living with the others is just too ridiculous, as you proved with permanent thermal vision.

4:01 Beautifully ironic scene. 😂

us marine corps cringe

this is just unconscionable. I was basically ready to sign up for the task force to help you out with shit... but like... I just can't even watch this and I'm just so disgusted with you. like, if you can't understand why partnering with the people who send our friends off to die for oil makes you a bad person... then I don't know what to tell you. I love your videos usually, but I just can't look at you anymore.

This is incredible

4:10 - 4:12 has to be my favorite part of this video

wtf man, promoting the military?? that’s disgusting tbh

Cringe sponsor today bro 💀

Wat u need is a hybrid of ir and vis put in2 1 display so that they compliment each others weaknesses

The most underrated channel on yt

Why did you do military propaganda

gay fest more like sin fest
