Eyrise will display the largest dynamic liquid crystal glass panels ever built, in the Glass Technology Live hub at Glasstec. 

Visitors to the exhibition in Dusseldorf, Germany, on 22 and 23 September, will be able to experience an interactive installation of two glass modules for building facades and interiors. Live demonstrations of solar shading and privacy glass will be showcased, alongside innovative control technology.

The s350 solar glass for facades, measuring 3.5m by 1.6m, is reported to be the largest piece of its kind to date. Eyrise, alongside the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands and Cambridge University in the UK, has developed a new type of facial expression control that visitors can use to interact with the glass and regulate light transmission.

A camera mounted above will capture each facial expression, evaluate it using intelligent software and send the corresponding command to the electronics of the glass module.

Eyrise claims that its liquid crystal solar shading glass also offers a very short switching time compared with other technologies with light transmission regulated within a second.

i350 privacy glass is designed to enable flexible concepts for building interiors by creating ‘instant private spaces’ within the workplace. At Glasstec, Eyrise will show how partition walls created this way can also be used as surfaces for projecting videos, presentations and advertising.

“Glass Technology Live is a forum for pioneering technologies in the glass industry,” said Celine Glipa, CEO of Eyrise. “The interactive experience we will showcase illustrates our vision of how intelligent, future-focused buildings can be dynamically adapted to people’s needs with the help of liquid crystal glass and innovative control technology.”

Eyrise’s ‘The Dynamics of Liquid Crystal Glazing’ installation will be located at stand C42 in Hall 11.
