Philips Dynamic Daylight Window

Juniper Foo | Nov 08, 2007

Given that most of us in the tropics have only two seasons--rain or shine--the Philips Dynamic Daylight Window opens a window (pun intended) to an innovative idea. It's almost like the Transitions eyewear folks had a Vulcan mind meld with Philips' Ambilight engineers. The result is a window that lets you control how much lighting you want to let through, with part of the adjustment creating an artificial window blind effect; the other adjusting the light itself so the sky can look a different color.

Besides practical applications for homes and hotels in sunny climes, helping people to adjust to jet lag, light therapy, and hey, the mood lighting it can create, who needs to draw the drapes after this for some "lights out" fun? The only catch we can think of: An equally dynamic power bill!
