About Smart Glass
Smart glass, also called as magic glass or switchable glass, is a unique kind of glass that can alter its light transmission properties. It is comprised of a special glass that can change the measure of light transmitted through it based on the voltage, heat, or light supplied. It may change to transparent or translucent according to the input voltage and subsequently, control the measure of light and heat passing through it. Smart glass is manufactured by laminating two or more glass or polycarbonate sheets. Smart glass is typically used as a part of doors, windows, partitions, and sky-facing windows in private and commercial buildings. It can be controlled manually as well as automatically. These glasses help in diminishing the expense of heating, ventilating, and lighting.
