Bleeding Edge

More High Tech Windows (The Glass Kind)

from the glass-ain't-just-glass-any-more dept

It's been about a year since we last mentioned smart glass-enabled windows, that can turn opaque at the flip of the switch. At that time, the glass was part of a prototype home. However, it looks like you can now buy your own smart glass if you don't mind shelling out $80 to $160 per square foot. For the rest of us, we'll stick with this funky "old school" technology we call "window blinds."

    If you live in an apartment, you want those leaky blinds that shine the street lights into your bedroom? Ah, who needs technology to make life better, when you can tape tinfoil to the window?

    This hardly qualifies as bleeding edge, as it appeared in magazines in the 80’s… To say nothing of trendy bathrooms in the EARLY 90s.

    But it IS cool, and nice to know that the price is still dropping.
