Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management and CEO of BMW AG, delivered the opening automotive keynote address at the CES show last night and was joined on stage by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Invited guests at the event included top executives from Gauzy, a global leader in vision and light control technologies, and Research Frontiers (Nasdaq: REFR), the inventor and licensor of patented SPD-SmartGlass light control technology.
During the keynote address, BMW revealed the i VISION Dee vehicle to showcase how the future of mobility can merge the real and virtual worlds. An integral part of how this was done uses a sophisticated head-up display system utilizing SPD-SmartGlass in the windshield of the car. The full side and rear glass of the i VISION Dee also uses SPD-SmartGlass to enhance the passenger experience and the integration of real and virtual environments.

The BMW i VISION Dee revealed at CES 2023 exudes tech-forward prowess and ultra-modern design while prioritizing safety, comfort, and experience with the support of Research Frontiers’ SPD-Smart light control technology and Gauzy’s LCG® Smart Glass Technologies. BMW’s implementation of Gauzy and Research Frontiers technology makes this the first vehicle to showcase the full extent that smart glass can be utilized in a passenger vehicle for shading, privacy, and transparent displays, with smart glass being used in all the windows on the front, rear and sides of the vehicle.

When the SPD and PDLC smart glass is off throughout the vehicle in virtual and autonomous driving modes, the BMW i VISION Dee instantly morphs into an encapsulated vessel, creating a travel experience that is private, light controlled, and immersive as windows turn into digital displays. Shifting back to transparent in seconds allows full visibility for safe on-demand manual navigation, enjoyment of views, and the high contrast functional BMW Head-up-Display from A-pillar to A-pillar on the vehicle.

The segmented SPD-LCG® smart glass windshield can set up a high-contrast canvas for a first-of-its-kind Head-up-Display developed by BMW. When SPD segments or the entire windshield is off, the multi-tech Head-up-Display provides wide viewing angles for a virtual image enjoyed by all passengers, marking the first time this has ever been shown in a vehicle. The windshield is independently powered by a control system specially designed by Gauzy, featuring a redundant fail-safe system that maintains power to the glass during an emergency, allowing the driver to always navigate the car safely in manual mode to a secure location. All side windows are equipped with dual PDLC and SPD segmented technologies that can be individually controlled, supporting dynamic privacy, shading, ambiance management, and displays that can be visible from the interior or exterior of the car when paired with projectors. Displays showcased from the exterior include personalized welcome messages for passengers, and from the interior, infotainment for an engaging ride. The BMW i VISION Dee’s back window features unsegmented SPD, contributing to an encapsulated interior ambience when all glazings are off.

Gauzy provided BMW with a full system solution, including all smart glass and control elements. This ultimate digital driving machine redefines what’s possible from a vehicle using LCG®, and highlights the leading performance of BMW in the automotive industry. This is the third collaboration between BMW and Gauzy following the BMW i Vision Circular Showcar revealed at IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich. In addition to seeing this remarkable vehicle at CES, visitors to CES can also see a wide range of smartglass products for automotive, aircraft, marine, mass transit and architectural applications at Gauzy’s Booth 5516 at the Automotive West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This is what I like, and got into this on Friday with a start of scaling in. I like this thinking someone posted.

We now live in a Covid-19 society and life will never be the same again. Gauzy is one of the best marketing companies I have ever seen. They do their due diligence and are marketing every nook and cranny of human society. If they continue to prove the benefits of SPD glass, that not only could play a roll in its fight against infectious diseases and our greater environment, this company is going to explode. There is a reason why they just received a Class C investment from big names.

[charliewho]

Thank goodness for my 3.60 stop.... looking for re-entry

[TrendTrade2016]

Lower band on the daily looks good. Just below technical support. Should be it. Added my winter doings.

[TrendTrade2016]

REFR 5 dolla holla. Boom

[charliewho]

Sold 1/2 end of day. Hoping for a spike Monday morning and I’ll probably dump the rest and look for a pull back. Tough to pass up 20% in 2 days. Thanks for the pick

[TrendTrade2016]

Just when you think the summer is going get weak again, but as I told my tribe recently we already had a correction. Monthly on the brink of bullish. However top is coming soon. Then the correction. I’m thinking market behaves a little next week. I’m happy you caught it. But you’re one of the smarter traders around so it makes sense. They push it into market strength and the plug gets pulled. Swing half. You got up a little higher so you would have a chance to buy back a lot cheaper going into the pullback

[charliewho]

Nice day here!!

[TrendTrade2016]

REFR blowing up!

[TrendTrade2016]

REFR on the verge of a monthly blue sky breakout...and someone told me today that charts are only about the past...that is the most stupid comment I've heard in my career....the whole point of charting is to see the future..bunch of dummies on this site!!
