Infrared technology allows computing devices to
communicate via short-range wireless signals.
With infrared, computers can transfer files and
other digital data bi-directionally.
Computer infrared network adapters both transmit
and receive data through ports on a device.

The name means below red, the Latin infra
meaning "below". Red is the color of the longest
wavelengths of visible light. Infrared light has a
longer wavelength (and so a lower frequency)
than that of red light visible to humans, hence the
literal meaning is below red.
INFRARED=INFRA+RED

The discovery of infrared technology is ascribed to
William Herschel, the astronomer, in the early 19th century.
Herschel published his results in 1800 before the Royal Society of London.
Herschel used a prism to refract light from the sun and detected the infrared,
beyond the red part of the spectrum, through an increase in the temperature
recorded on a thermometer. He was surprised at the result and called them
"Calorific Rays".
The term 'Infrared' did not appear until late in the 19th century.

According to the Mountain View-based giant,
Google takes too long to scan books in order to
take them online.
The main problem behind the older technology of
scanning books lies in the fact that the character
recognition software requires a neat 2D image of
the text.

Thermography:
Infrared radiation can be used to remotely
determine the temperature of objects.

Infrared is used in night vision equipment when there is
insufficient visible light to see.
The use of infrared light and night vision devices should not be
confused with thermal imaging which creates images based on
differences in surface temperature by detecting infrared
radiation (heat) that emanates from objects and their
surrounding environment.

Infrared tracking or infrared homing, refers to a
passive missile guidance system which uses the
emission from a target of electromagnetic
radiation in the infrared part of the spectrum to
track it.
Missiles which use infrared seeking are often
referred to as “heat-seekers”

Infrared radiation technology can be used as a deliberate heating
source.
Infrared heating is also becoming more popular in industrial
manufacturing processes, e.g. curing of coatings, forming of
plastics, annealing, plastic welding, print drying.
In these applications, infrared heaters replace convection ovens
and contact heating.
Efficiency is achieved by matching the wavelength of the
infrared heater to the absorption characteristics of the material.

FUTURE WORK
A newly discovered Apple patent reveals that future iPhones
could use infrared technology to provide sophisticated cameras
that communicate with the objects around them.

Finally, we hope this project will serve as a solid foundation for future projects on near infrared technology.
In future years of this class, we hope that other students will continue looking into this area. Projects focusing on one type of specific application of near infrared technology would be able to go into greater depth on an issue. Also, the ability of some digital cameras to take near infrared images should be explored more, and a comprehensive model developed.
We recommend that students take an interest in this type of project, as some of the results were quite stunning, and we enjoyed working on this project immensely. Neither of us had performed much photography previous to this project, but this project has certainly interested me in the hobby. We hope you enjoyed the report!
