LCD, e-paper, etc... it's been around for many many years now, but they've mainly used it for home/office windows (mostly LCD panels). Now that e-books with e-paper are becoming popular, the technology is getting so inexpensive they can start using it for other applications.

nogoodname 09-12-2009 11:14 AM

i'm curious how long it can stay on while the car is off before the battery is dead.

kdo2milger 09-12-2009 11:27 AM

i noticed in the second video he was inside looking out when it was on and i could not see out...is it just for stationary use or can you dial it down for driving too?

nogoodname 09-12-2009 11:28 AM

it's totally adjustable... do whatever you want with it

0% and 99% tint shades were used to show the difference is there

so, it has its own key fob?

frost 09-12-2009 11:32 AM

Did they get michael j fox to film this? That camera guy was jerking around so much it almost makes this unwatchable.

sounded that way in the video..cause you could here him clicking something and seeing the windows change

I've always wondered why the technology for transitions lenses aren't applied to windows. It wouldn't be as flashy, or have it's own dongle to turn it on/off, but it would be functional.

Zerafian 09-12-2009 02:05 PM

Awful....When its not dark its foggy, which looks like sh!t.

If it were totally clear when the tint wasnt kicked in I would be all for it. Looks like the technology still needs improvement.

Well, transition lenses for glasses don't work when inside a vehicle, because they don't activate on brightness per se.

"most factory windshields are built with a vinyl interlayer between the glasses that you really can't see they are then fused together. According to the information I found at Carlite, who manufactures factory quality windshields for many vehicles, this layer is also a solar tint which absorbs Ultraviolet rays from entering the vehicle. This interlayer doesn't darken the windshield that you can really notice, but instead by blocking the UV rays, which prevents the Transitions lenses from getting darker while in a vehicle. While you are in a vehicle, your glasses don't get darker, and you are left squinting. Granted you are not being damaged by UV rays, but if you can't see because of the sun you run the risk of getting in an accident."

That being said, can they make windows activate the tint while still blocking UV rays from those inside the car?

Red370 09-12-2009 02:46 PM

omg, thats fukkin awesome, bet its quite expensive.

If the technology used is similar to the e-paper stuff, the only energy draw comes from changing states. So, for as long as you could normally leave the car without the battery going dead.

That makes sense. I never knew there was an interlay in most vehicle glass.

Here is a prime example of a technology that DOESN'T need to be used in a car. This stuff first came around about 8 years ago and they used it in all the 'chic' bathrooms of new, prestigious clubs and lounges. You could walk in the clear, glass stall, lock the door, and BOOM...it's frosted over while you take a dump.

There is nothing safe about having this in your car when it frosts two ways (can't see in or out). The only utility is if you store diamonds on the seats of your car while it's parked or you've installed a toilet in place of the passenger seat.

:thumbsdown:

:iagree: because if its the same inside and out then driving seems out of the question...

Indeed. If you could see out, or it was a tint rather than a "blocker," this would be awesome.

ssqpolo 09-13-2009 01:06 PM

if its adjustable like u say...im in! being fully blocked sucks. i would have been cooler to make it like a one-way glass. like my limo tint..i can see u, but u cant see me!
but this is cooler than those pimpstar rims! movie on the window=baller. or ride with dark tint, cops pull u over and bam gone! in for pricing.

t7n7 09-15-2009 02:35 PM

hey guys.. thanks for tuning in.... a few things...

-it can be adjusted variably.. (not shown in the videos, stay tuned for more videos)
-i used a remote switch so i can record it while using it.. you can trigger it anyway you like.. when you start the car, when you approach the car, when you clap your hands.. when you turn on your lights... etc. etc.
-the remote switch only has ON/OFF , the reason why you cannot see outside when its completely off
-i have been pulled over and the cops didn't notice the tint... now if i was to turn it off, i probably would've lost my car lol..
-just like anything else, its new and will improve over time
-its not foggy when its clear, it is not blurry.. the cam just sucked... you can see out perfectly fine. the videos do no justice, must see in person

of course, not everyone will like this and there will always be something for someone to bash.. which is totally cool.. because i just want to help anyone that is interested in doing this... its not something that i expect everyone to have. regards to the product itself, its been around for ages... after watching MIB, i thought i have it on my car.. thats all.

Also keep in mind, i can still roll down my windows, i can drive the car like a car and not have to worry about anything else. (which is the #1 thing thats important when doing something to your car).. and if you wanted to look outside while its frosted <--- , then you would dial it down variably.

thanks for posting this, i'm glad other communities got a chance to check this out.. :) i sometimes drop by at kennedy commons on wednesday nights..

t7n7 09-15-2009 02:53 PM

speaking of the pimpstar rims, wait til you see the next mod regarding the rims :

nogoodname 09-15-2009 03:09 PM
