Other Control Methods
Motion Sensors
Smart glass can also be controlled through motion sensors. Both occupancy and vacancy sensors can detect whether a space, such as a conference room or bathroom, is either occupied or unoccupied.
Light, Sound & Heat
Even more complex methods of controlling smart glass can be achieved. Gauzy’s controllers are DMX and RS-485 compatible and therefore can be programmed by third party professionals to react to different types of elements.
Door Locks
Smart glass can be wired to become opaque the moment a door is put into a locked position through the use of magnetic connections. This application is particularly popular in bathrooms.
Security Systems
Smart glass integrated with security systems, becoming either transparent or opaque in case of emergencies. Popular applications include educational facilities, government offices and military settings.
