What is it about?
We made a heating and cooling paint pen for use in Virtual Reality (VR) drawing. When you paint with fire, it will be warmer, and cooler if you are using the ice brush.

Why is it important?
Since VR is not like real-life (physical world) art, we can create new ways of interacting with the environment. We want to create a more immersive experience that inspires creativity from VR artists.
Perspectives
VR art is a new area of art that people can explore. As VR applications get more common, we can create immersive settings that give you different sensory inputs. Heating and cooling is not well explored, so we are trying something new to enhance VR drawing experiences.
