Visible Light/Infrared Side-By-Side Movies
Our Infrared World
This site lets you view QuickTime movies that show you what our world looks like in the infrared, compared with visible light. Simply click on the movie you want to view.
Remember as you look at the movies that infrared is really a form of heat, so in these movies darker colors are cooler, and warmer colors are brighter. Though the "scale" (meaning exactly what temperature is depicted as what color) is different from movie to movie, you can see some surprising colors in the infrared.
