Collecting thermal measurements of various regions on a user's face can have many health-related (and other) applications. However, movements of the user and/or of the user's head can make acquiring this data difficult with many of the known approaches. Some embodiments described herein utilize various combinations of head-mounted thermal cameras, which may be physically coupled to a frame of a head-mounted system (HMS), in order to collect the thermal measurements. In one embodiment, the thermal measurements are utilized by a computer to detect a physiological response such as stress, an allergic reaction, a headache, a stroke, or an expression of a certain emotion (e.g., joy, fear, sadness, or anger). |
