Smart Glass technology was recently installed at KPMG’s offices
in Kuwait. The installation included a number of laminated Smart Glass panels
and self-adhesive Smart Film which can be simply retro-fitted to existing
glazing. Smart Glass technology transforms any space at the flick of a switch
offering instant privacy and security. The product works on an electrical
current and when activated switches from clear to opaque. In its opaque state,
the product can also be used as a high definition rear projection screen.
Safi AlMutawa, CEO of KPMG says “Delivering instant privacy
to carry out important meetings and presentations, without distractions from
onlookers, and co-workers in a simple click was great innovation and eliminating
the need for curtains/blinds which can look dated and unpleasant”
A little closer to home, when Tesco rolled out their
in-store pharmacy services across the UK, customer confidentiality was an
obvious concern - Switchable Privacy Glass by Smartglass provided the ideal
solution for this project as it grants complete privacy at the flick of a
switch. Customers can discuss healthcare
issues in complete confidence and privacy in a Smartglass room and still enjoy
bright spacious and modern surroundings.
Recently GQA CEO Mick Clayton attended a Sheffield Wednesday
v Barnsley football match and as a Barnsley supporter may have wished this
technology was on the windows of the executive box he was in; if he could have
flicked the switch in time he would have been spared from seeing Wednesday’s
winning goal in the 7th minute of injury time!
