“Smart Glass” on the Verge – Architectural Record Technology.
Imagine you’re in the middle of a meeting, and everyone is peeking in! Imagine flipping a light switch for privacy. That’s what smart glass does. As the production amounts go up, the prices come down. The technology is there. One aspect of smart glass that Suntech can deliver is laminated or “sandwiched” versions – we can put it in to about any frame these days, as long as it’s stationary. The thickness can be mad up with other glass, and we can even put it in to surrounding glass applications that require exterior building exposures.
Another side note is that smart glass is able to be projected upon. What that means is that you could have a whole wall of glass that is literally a projector screen. This is exciting stuff. People have used privacy glass in bathrooms, sun rooms, by hot tubs and more.
