VG Smartglass allows a user to make any window to go from clear to dark to dynamically adjust for privacy, glare, and energy control. The VG technology is user controlled, requires no power or phase changing materials, and is a lower cost alternative to smart glass.Our Story : An apple falling from the tree gave Newton the inspiration to discover gravity, for us it was the frustration of dealing with the blinds in the morning when the sun shone bright in the eyes. In 2007, to find a solution to our problems, we began to research existing technologies known as "smart glass" or "electronic dimming windows". We were spell bounded by these systems but wondered why we did not see this in our daily lives. The answer is that these technologies have been too costly and too complex for any real market adoption. The reason why we founded the company is that we believe there is a simpler, more practical smart glass solution. VG SmartGlass technology achieves this and has the potential to fundamentally change how people interact with their window systems.
