Abstract
Glass Technology Glass technology will have the great features on some field of applications like we can make the chip on glass technology for large capacity and high resolution LCD. Glass technology will have the great features in some applications like doors and hotels, airports, security etc. Glass technology specializes in the delivery of glazing solutions for modern door, window, and curtain walling contraction. It offers a wide range of window and door design for your home improvement, home renovation or interior decoration. It‘s using with sensor and casement to sliding and combinations, from windows that rise from wall to the celling to windows of span balconies. A combination of new technology, plus a strong desire on the part of major companies to transform glass, will affect nearly every category of consumer electronics, from smart watches to phones to tablets to desktop computers to smart homes and offices. Hundreds of companies and organizations are working on the coming glass revolution. Incredible breakthroughs in glass technology mean that over the next couple of years we will see interesting innovations in consumer electronics. Read on to find out about the new technologies and what we‘ll be using as business and consumers.
Introduction
Incredible breakthroughs in glass technology means that over the next couple of years we will see really we will be using as business and consumers. A combination of new technology, plus a strong desire on the part of major companies to transform glass, that will affect nearly interesting innovations in consumer electronics, from smart watches to phones to tablets to desktop computers to smart homes and offices. Glass is the essential material enabling in this new world. The displays and touch surfaces or touch screens of the future will require materials that are tough, yet thin and lightweight, that can enable complex electronic circuits and nano functionality, that can scale for very large application, and that also have a cool, touch-friendly aesthetic. Glass is an amorphous solid material. Glasses are typically brittle and optically transparent.The most familiar type of glass used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels.but here the special glasses which having some different characteristics using this glasses we implement various types of equipments. Glass technology appears that a world where technology is incorporated into all manner of accessories could soon be upon us.Glass technology is one of the best manufacturing technologies. While using almost the same basic constituents now, as in the earliest times (for mobile and google glasses) the technology of production has advanced to the stage where manufacturers are able to produce perfect flat glass, lenses and display screens. According to analysts at IMS Research, the market for wearable electronics products such as smart glasses and watches is actually set to boom in the next few years, as the public becomes more used to such devices.
Equipments
Hundreds of companies and organization are working on the coming glass technology.. Here are some product of the companies and innovations showing what‘s possible with glass technology,
Microsoft
Smart Glass In recent years, the market for light-control glass has expanded due to the increasing demands for energy efficiency and heat and light control, automated shading, privacy, and design and engineering innovation. Smart Glass or Switchable Glass is a product of cutting-edge technology that allows users to block either all light or just some by simply turning a knob or pressing a button. This type of light control could potentially save tremendously on heating, cooling, lighting costs and also saving energy
How does Smart Glass Work?
Switchable glass panes dim and brighten at will. When you want sun to shine through your windows, simply flip a switch to turn off the tint. When you want to open a room, another flip and the windows will blur, become opaque, or slowly darken. Though they all perform at the same task, there are several types of smart glass available in market. One of the original forms is photo chromatic technology which doesn‘t require manual operation. It works automatically. Similar to sunglasses, these panes immediately tint when the sun hits, which is efficient since they don‘t call for any electricity or hands-on direction.
Electrochromic Glass
Electrochromic Glasses work in the opposite manner. When a current supplied, they darken and when electricity is withheld, they become clear. The another unique aspect of these is that they are not so black and white. Instead, they are able to create varying levels of light penetration, allowing total management of the sun‘s power. Sometimes it takes several minutes to change shades and typically electrochromic glass works from the outside to the center, but it also does not require a constant stream of electricity. Once the initial tint is achieved, there is no requirement of power. The switching speed of electrochromic glass is the slowest overall and varies depending upon the size of the panel (larger panels typically take many minutes to switch). The consistency of tint changes also varies, with larger panels sometimes exhibiting tint changes that begin at the glazing‘s outer edges and then move inward (It known as the ―iris effect‖).
Liquid Crystals
Working similarly to SPD (Suspended Particle Devices) technology, these products are black and white: turn it on, they line up to permit light; turn it off, you are in the dark again. Liquid crystal smart glass changes its properties the most quickly of all—from translucent to transparent in milliseconds and tint changes occur consistently regardless of panel size. Liquid crystal smart glass does not offer a shading benefit, but the view through the glass blocked when in its translucent state. As such, this product primarily used for interior needs (e.g., bathrooms) where privacy is required.
Google-glasses
Google has recently announced Project Glass. The technology involves special glasses, which use glass and mirrors to project a computers display onto eye, creating the illusion that relevant information is floating in the air. Wireless connectivity and artificial intelligence enable you to conjure up facts, see things in context, send message by voice and even take pictures by blinking.
Google announced Project Glass Technology
This one is the world‘s first flattest full size QWERTY keyboard to date that features just a glass surface, camera and lighting! Yes, the all new alternative keyboard concept will be pack with the latest motion capture technology to sense and watch your fingers pressing the keys to key-in just the right messages! I just can‘t imagine typing on a keyboard without even pressing the keys! Must say- the power of touch is working well! A Though, other creations in the world of keyboards including the giant keyboard or the mobile keyboard were no less impressive. Google officially announced the launch of Project Glass technology. It will enable the users to organize their daily routines much easier. It also enables paired Android devices to interact directly. Entire concept based on Augmented Reality. Google will introduce augmented reality glasses as a part of this project. By using Google HUD glasses, users can answer video calls, reply to their inbox messages, get their destination direction overlaid, capture photos and even share them. These glasses cost will be similar to an Android phone.
Conclusion
Glass technology is one of the best manufacturing technologies.Thus hereby from the report presented we conclude that glass this days have been of extremly great use and has surely made a drastic change due the development in technology.it has became a unavoidable part of our daily life. Some of the fields in which glass has made its way are google glass, glass phone, wearable mobile etc.
