Interactive Glass Melds Together It And Architecture

Touchscreen displays, LED technology and ultra-thin glasses; the multifunctional diversity of glass in IT and architecture will, in the long term, lead to a combination of both. Buildings, residential houses and public roads will turn into information media and control elements. Buildings will carry information on their facades about the things that take place inside. Road surfaces will automatically respond to indicate hazards, displaying appropriate signs or notes as well as providing households with electricity. Moreover, where the relevant properties are known, it will be possible to produce glass in thicknesses of 10 microns. Some of the most exciting examples are discussed in this article.
