Mike-
We're just starting our brainstorming on some interactives for the upcoming 
"Eco-House" exhibit for the Durango Discovery Museum, and one of the ideas 
is for 3-4 big jackets that have differing Rvalues, that users would slip 
on, stand infront of an IR camera and view themselves on a screen.  Other 
props and twists might be a "leaky" jacket, a big blower, etc. which might 
be fun to watch in IR.
