A camera sensitive to infrared light picks up the heat emitted by visitors and displays it as a color image on a large screen. Warmer objects emit more infrared light than cooler ones, and different parts of the body are often different temperatures, as revealed by the camera.

let's see: hot forehead, slightly cold nose, pretty cold fingers. I would love to see the color of the tongue sticking out:)
