Woodbury-based Research Frontiers has taken its show on the road. The maker of smart-glass technology, which allows people to electronically change the amount of light or heat that a window lets through, was showcased on Japanese bus maker Hino Motors‘ concept motorcoach at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The news was actually picked up by top technology blog, Engadget.
From the post:
Developed by Research Frontiers, the SPD-Smart technology covering those expansive panels there on your right “allows vehicle occupants to instantly, precisely and uniformly control the amount of sunlight, glare and heat passing through the windows, sunroofs and other glazings.” Additionally, it blocks over 99-percent of harmful UV radiation and can be darkened or lightened with the press of a button. Unfortunately, we’ve no idea when this tech will be headed to your everyday commuter car, but we can hear window tinters the world over grumbling in unison.
