Glass is a symbol of openness, but business needs privacy. In 2026, we solve this dilemma with 'Smart Glass 3.0'. It's no longer just PDLC film, but nanocrystals integrated into the glass mass, controlled by a smartphone. We explore how to use electrochromic glass to create transformer meeting rooms right in the lobby, how to darken the reception facade to hide monitors, and why SPD (Suspended Particle Device) glass has become the standard for bank tellers.
Privacy on Click
A modern reception often doubles as a conf-call booth. We install smart glass partitions that instantly become milky white when an employee enters. In 2026, switching speed is under 0.1 seconds. Moreover, the frosted glass starts working as an HD rear-projection screen, allowing presentations or branding to be displayed. One plane — three functions: window, wall, display.
Gradient Dimming
Transition Aesthetics
The novelty of 2026 is gradient smart . It allows dimming only the lower part of the partition (hiding legs and wires), leaving the top crystal clear for eye contact. This looks incredibly stylish and solves the eternal problem of visual noise under the desk. Gradient control allows 'playing' with space openness depending on the time of day.
