I had this idea years ago!!!11 (gotta have the 1's)

Well anyway, i'm finally studying for my GROL (General Radio Operators License) and man is it a biatcheroonie!

Back on topic, has anyone heard of these Electrochromic windows before? It's a genius idea (that I came up with when I was 14 and addicted to paintball and morrowind) and I wonder why I haven't seen it anywhere before. I mean like reviews or videos... It's really expensive though... $600USD for a 20"X20" piece... Any thoughts? (besides "ya, you're an idiot 37637598")

Welcome to life, kid.

I had (http://www.forbes.com/2002/08/15/0815subway.html) this idea about 15 years ago, after riding on the subway for the first time since I was a kid. Sadly, someone beat me to it.

Damn, good idea. I first had my idea when I was really into electronics and paintball, I took apart a little digital monopoly game, took out the LCD, mounted it to my paintball visor, put some Photocells hooked up to a circut that adjusts the LCD, and then I had a light controlled dimmer for my paintball mask. It worked pretty good for sun glare but wasn't really that useful. I then tried to hook it up to my hopper to count how many rounds I had left, so it could display the number on the LCD, but I never got it to work right so I gave up.
