1. A method of enabling easier interpretation and analysis of an observed real world scene by presenting a visible representation of infrared (IR) radiation information, based on IR radiation emitted from said observed real world scene, onto said observed real world scene, using a thermography arrangement comprising an IR imaging system and a visible light projecting system, the method comprising:

  • capturing, by said IR imaging system, IR radiation information based on detected IR radiation emitted from said observed real world scene;

    creating a visible representation of said captured IR radiation information;

    detecting distance information associated with said observed real world scene in relation to said thermography arrangement;

    adjusting said visible representation of said captured IR radiation information based on said detected distance information such that said adjusted visible representation of said captured IR radiation information, when projected onto said observed real world scene, is aligned with said detected IR radiation emitted from said observed real world scene; and

    projecting, by said visible light projecting system, said adjusted visible representation of said captured IR radiation information onto said observed real world scene in alignment with said detected IR radiation emitted from said observed real world scene.
