contents In recent years, thermal feedback has emerged as a significant sensory modality in virtual reality. However, the concept of conveying the sensation of thermal movement remains largely unexplored. We propose HeatFlicker, a virtual campfire device that recreates the flickering of fire by using a thermal illusion of moving heat identified in preliminary experiments. This device creates the illusion of heat moving from a fixed heat source. In our demonstration, we provide a novel thermal experience by simulating the flickering of a real fire.
