The aura cameras work under the assumption that the energy in our hands mirrors the energy in and around our whole body. There are electrodes beneath the hand plates I pressed into that measured my hands' acupuncture points, sending information about my energy through wires to a computer, which used software to translate it to colors — supposedly creating the aura image that's then layered on top of the visible image. Scientists and skeptics have a different theory: The colors are actually determined by how sweaty your hands are, or how hard you press down, for example.
An article from the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry likens the process to a polygraph that simply responds to an electrical current sent through the hands. A week after my visit to Magic Jewelry, I'm on the phone with Stephany Hurkos, a personal manager in Studio City, California, who began studying auras in the s.
She gives me another reading, looking at a copy of my aura photo I sent to her email. You could be a comedian," she says, and I withhold the urge to interrupt the reading and tell her I just finished a sketch writing class. You worry a lot. My dominant color is red, she says, which symbolizes passion, hard work, and sometimes, a short fuse. I call Coggins to ask how he feels about the recent interest in his work.
This is a positive, optimistic thing to think about. Like astrology and tarot, aura portraiture has surged in popularity in recent years.
Plus, a gorgeous photo of yourself with hazy psychedelic swirls of colorful clouds cascading over your face and bathing you in a magical light makes for a pretty sweet profile pic. In order to understand aura photography, we need to travel back in time a little bit…all the way back to , to be specific.
This form of photography captured electrical emanations on film, which they believed could provide psychic insights. In the s, coinciding with a boom in New Age spirituality, an entrepreneur named Guy Coggins used the ideology of Kirlian photography to create his own camera system, the AuraCam which is still used today!
In this system, the camera is hooked up to two charged metal plates containing biofeedback centers. A subject places their hands on the sensors as the camera opens for a long double exposure, creating both a headshot and a visual, colorful auric capture layered on top.
Are you exhausted? Have you had your heart broken? Are you falling in love? What is motivating you right now? What do you need to know? Using this wealth of knowledge, we can create technologies that can help us view depictions of the colored radiant Aura and allow us to open up new possibilities of perception for our inner worlds.
Our aura reading machine uses a hand sensor, as seen to the image to the right. A person would put their left or right hand onto the hand sensors. This, in turn, would allow a particular product to measure physiological parameters.
The hand sensor itself has various contact points on them designed to maximize reading accuracy. The hand sensor is also sensitive to deviations in temperature, humidity, and static electricity in the environment and the person, allowing for greater precision in data gathering. These data parameters are then projected as a radiant, colored aura field around the body on either an instant film photo or onto a computer monitor.
In rapid time thereafter, a brilliant color photo or computer print out can be presented to the user to help them understand their own personal aura color interpretation.
