Participants observed the hot and cold environment movies with immersive head-mounted display. When they observed the movies, their left hand fingertip skin temperature was measured by the thermography. For the first 3 minutes, there was no difference of the temperature between the hot and cold environment movies observation. On the other hand, for the last 2 minutes, the temperature of fingertip was higher when the participants watched the cold environment movies than the hot environment movies. These results suggested that the virtual reality environment would effect on the thermoregulation system of the body.
