## Description

The **Thermal Scanner Camera VR** Chrome extension offers a captivating experience by simulating thermal vision effects on your device's camera feed. It applies colorful gradients to video streams, highlighting bright and dark areas in vibrant thermal colors like reds, yellows, blues, and greens. Users can choose from multiple preset color palettes such as Thermal, Heat map, Fire & Ice, Iron Man, Predator, Neon, and more, or create their own custom gradients using the built-in gradient editor.

This extension supports a variety of camera controls including zoom, switching between front and rear cameras, and flash toggling. It also enables virtual reality (VR) mode for immersive viewing. Thermal Scanner Camera VR allows photo capture and video recording with the thermal effect, and users can apply thermal filters to existing photos from their device gallery. Edited images can be saved as wallpapers or shared across social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.

Please note, this extension simulates thermal imaging for entertainment purposes and is not a substitute for professional thermal cameras. Its performance depends on your device's camera and environmental conditions. Use responsibly and enjoy a unique thermal vision experience!

## Review summary

Reviews are mixed: many praise the visuals and fun factor, with some noting it can be useful for relative heat/draft spotting and adjustable sensitivity. However, most critics say it does not measure actual temperature, acting as a color/brightness filter with no units. Several users describe it as fake or entertainment-only. Others complain about non-stop ads, privacy concerns (face detection), ARCore requirements, and poor performance in darkness. Overall, it’s a novelty app with limited real-world thermography usefulness.

### Pros

- Entertaining and visually impressive visuals.
- Useful for relative heat/draft detection without temperature units.
- Adjustable sensitivity improves visibility.
- Generally positive user sentiment and enjoyment.

### Cons

- Not a real thermal camera; only a color/brightness filter with no temperature readings.
- Intrusive non-stop ads (including unskippable video ads).
- Described by many as fake or entertainment-only.
- Poor performance in darkness or low-light conditions.
- Privacy concerns due to face detection.
