NEXT STEP
- Improve Aesthetic: Replace the mechanical blinders film with electronically controlled smart glass for smoother operation and a more modern appearance.
- Miniaturize Components: Optimize the size and placement of components to make the system compact and integrate seamlessly into window frames.
- Enhance Sensing Capabilities: Incorporate additional sensors, such as temperature, humidity, or UV sensors, to further refine responses based on environmental conditions.
- Scalability Testing: Experiment with larger window sizes or integrate into curtain systems for scalability in different architectural settings.
- Customizable Designs: Adapt the system to different window shapes, sizes, and materials to make it more versatile for architectural use.
- Commercial Integration: Explore partnerships with architects or building technology companies to incorporate the system into new construction projects or retrofitting designs.
- Add Manual Controls: Include physical buttons, touch-sensitive panels, or a mobile app for manual override and user preferences.
