I want this so badly. But yeah, too expensive for now, and I'm not wearing that damn necklace lol.

This will be possible with a regular camera and motion tracking software also with no IR necklace required. Eventually a thin LCD sheet for the window panels will be all you need.

My guess is that within 10 years this will be very affordable. I can't wait!

I'll be happy when electrically tinting windows become affordable. I'd love to ditch my mini-blinds, but it's too damned expensive.
