You know so I don't have to burn as much coal.
I've always wanted to build an infrared heat lamp with body tracking. Attach that sucker to a couple servos and thermal tracker, and have it always pointing at me. Would not work if there were multiple bodies though.

Seems crazy to heat a whole space when only a thin boundary layer of air over the skin needs to be warm.
