About it

Everything gives off infrared light, more the warmer it is. A thermal camera measures that light and paints each temperature its own false color: here, black and violet for cold, then magenta, red, orange and yellow up to white for hot.

The tea in the mug starts at about 72 °C and cools (sped up: in real life it takes many minutes) as its steam thins. The mug's wall warms from the tea, the hand warmer stays at about 47 °C as the iron powder inside slowly rusts, and the glass of ice water is cold. The table is at room temperature, warmed or chilled a little where things stand on it. The scene and its temperatures are built for the splash.
