Smart glass and the internet of things will make your office less stuffy

Excerpt:

Smart-glass windows transform from transparent to opaque, and every shade in between, in seconds.

It’s now taking that technology a step further. Last week, at the American Institute of Architects convention in Atlanta, the company showed a prototype of smart glass that can work not only in sections, but in shapes. So instead of just rectangular or square blocks of light, you could instantaneously adjust your window for beams slanting through triangles, diamonds, and trapezoids, each independently controlled for the desired tinting. A tinted window, then, could have one non-tinted triangle letting in a sunbeam in the middle.
