Honda has filed for the patenting of touch-sensitive window tint and the patent will allow users to control the windows’ tinted area via touchscreen-like inputs.
Seen on paultan.org, the ability to darken windows using electro-photochromic technology is not new but no manufacturer has allowed the occupants to control the amount of shade via pinch movements. While the image suggests its application for a vehicle’s side windows, the technology could be applied to the front as well as the rear windscreen.
This could be the end of sun visors if this feature appears in its production models!
