Integrated electronics for low maintenance - Weight saving for greater fuel efficiency
NUANCE ECO-SMART, PHOTOVOLTAIC DIMMABLE HATCH
Nuance Eco-Smart is the world first self-powered dimmable deck hatch with photovoltaic cells integrated onto the hatch frame, allowing to harvest solar energy in a battery in order to enable the solution to operate, totally independently of the boat electrical system.
The system is easily controlled either thanks to a touch panel directly on the window, remotely from a PED, or automatically with additional sensors (light, temperature).
This innovative solution allows low maintenance as well as elegance and modernity.
Nuance Eco-Smart is also applicable for windows or glass doors in other market segments.

SHADING SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
CUSTOMIZING PASSENGER EXPERIENCE
AMBIANCE MANAGEMENT
In a plane, train or boat, personalize the environment of each passenger!
Depending on the chosen ambiance or specific moment of the journey, Vision Systems’ ambiance management system generates the right atmosphere to offer each passenger a unique experience. Through a tablet or control panel, the traveler can select a “mood”, such as reading, sleeping or waking up, leading to the automatic synchronization of the shade, the dimmable windows and the lighting to create the perfect adequacy between the selected mood and the lighting atmosphere.
Each of Vision Systems shading systems can be controlled separately, or simultaneously through the ambiance management system. Developed in-house based on Vision Systems know-how in cabin management systems, the solution can integrate other elements of the cabin ambiance (image, sound, temperature) with individual or crew control.
ACTI-VISION, SMART GLASS DISPLAY
Transform your divider into a smart display!
- Projection on this smart glass partition showing messages, images or videos such as traveling information or advertising.
- When nothing is displayed, this divider can remain transparent, or opaque (white or dark) to offer privacy between classes.
- The crew can easily control the display system and the opacity level directly from the flight attendant panel.
