The inherent transparency of ordinary glass makes projecting an image upon it impossible. Multi-Media Glass on the other hand, retains the majority of its transparency but has a unique property embedded within it that contains light cast upon it in the same way the light viewed in holograms are contained within glass.

This science of this property, (explained in more detail at www.compumatter.com/immglass/described.php) allows websites to be projected upon it and viewed in daylight conditions using a simple mid-range video projector.

Interactive Glass
As if this technology wasn't impressive enough, CompuMatter has added a layer of interactivity by embedding a transparent film which contains thousands of hair-like wires woven within it, on the face of the Multi-Media Glass. These hair-like wires pick up the slightest change in heat applied anywhere within their grid. So when a human places their finger on the glass, the website reacts in the same way a home computer does when a mouse is clicked.

A Sound Solution
The final piece of this interactive experience is a couple of cool little discs that are designed for the specific purpose of turning a pane of glass into a stereo speaker system. A single disc is mounted at the lower corners of the glass and cause an ultra-sonic vibration that is picked up and transmitted by the window. The sound is well, as clear as glass.
