VISION SYSTEMS UNVEILS ITS SPD-SMARTGLASS DIMMABLE WINDOW SOLUTIONS FOR THE CRUISE INDUSTRY – IMPROVING THE PASSENGER EXPER...
June 20 2019 - 9:15AM
Passengers on cruise ships marvel at the magnificent views, but can
be uncomfortable with too much sunlight, glare and heat. This week
at the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo, cruise line executives, interior
designers, outfitting experts, certified suppliers, and a busy flow
of other visitors are experiencing the ultimate solution. For the
first time, Vision Systems, a licensee of Research Frontiers
(Nasdaq: REFR), is showcasing a variety of SPD-SmartGlass products
designed for the cruise industry to dramatically improve the cruise
ship passenger experience. The dream of taking a cruise just got
dreamier.
One core benefit of these products is the
remarkable control passengers and crew are given over unwanted
environmental elements. At the touch of a button, the transparency
level of windows, partitions, roofs, and other surfaces can be
instantly and precisely changed, enabling unprecedented management
of light, glare and heat entering the interior. Passengers and crew
“tune” the amount of light coming into cruise ships to preserve and
enhance views, reduce uncomfortable glare and heat, and provide for
a superior wellness atmosphere. This environmental control system
can also be automated, and the products are in the darkest, maximum
heat-blocking state when not in use – resulting in a reduction of
air conditioning consumption for cruise ship operators, and a
cooler ship interior for passengers.

One of the products being demonstrated at the
show is a solution that includes both SPD-Smart dimmable film as
well as PDLC privacy film. This gives passengers the ability to
select 100% privacy under any lighting conditions, while at the
same time being able to independently tune the tint of the glass.
Research Frontiers licensee Gauzy participated with Vision Systems
– Gauzy film was used in this solution. Gauzy as well as Research
Frontiers joined Vision Systems at their Expo booth, and were
pleased with the steady crowd of visitors experiencing these
innovative solutions for the cruise ship industry.
Vision Systems Multizone Dimmable Window
with Integrated Transparent Information Panel
Vision Systems is featuring many of their
SPD-SmartGlass solutions including a curved dimmable solution.
Another key solution, as described by Vision Systems, “is a
multizone dimmable window with an integrated transparent
information panel based on electroluminescent technology. This
elegant digital shade provides opacity control of a chosen zone of
the window, and gives real time information to the passengers for a
greater comfort and traveling experience. The sleek design of the
solution conveys a modern high-end image allowing for brand
differentiation.”

SPD-SmartGlass solutions at the show and the benefits offered to
passengers and cruise ship operators, we invite you to read Vision
Systems' press release.
Many cruise ship windows use traditional window
shades, and are also highly tinted in an attempt to reduce the
amount of time the shades must be down due to excessive light,
glare or solar heat. While this reduces somewhat the time the
shades have to be down, it remains ineffective for many lighting
conditions. Even when the shade is up, the tint of the window
limits the passengers’ views outside the ship during dusk,
nighttime and pre-sunrise hours. Vision Systems’ SPD-SmartGlass
solutions eliminates this problem with its ability to be in an
optically clear state whenever desired.
Also, a key feature of the passenger experience
onboard cruise ships is experiencing the magnificent views. With
windows using shades, views are blocked at all times sunlight,
glare or heat are uncomfortable. SPD-SmartGlass is the solution, by
enabling passengers to instantly select a tint level that allows
them to continue to enjoy views yet remain extremely comfortable,
even in direct sun.
