Forget curtains and blinds, one company exhibiting at InnoTrans has unveiled an intelligent technology that shuts out light from train carriages in a futuristic fashion. Dubbed ‘Intelligent Glass Control’ or IGC by developer Continental, the system relies on a film sandwiched between two panes of glass which is connected to an electronic control unit.
The film layer contains particles that can change to alter the transparency and colour of the window to allow different levels of light to come into the carriage.
