Provides electrochromic smart glass for buildings

Overview

View.com develops Dynamic Glass for commercial buildings, with its flagship View Smart Windows that tint automatically in response to sunlight and other external conditions. The electrochromic tint reduces eyestrain and drowsiness while cutting energy use. It differentiates itself by emphasizing health, productivity, energy savings, and higher property value, supported by direct sales, installation, and ongoing training and services. Its goal is to expand smart glass adoption in the commercial real estate market, grow market presence through a SPAC merger, and help buildings attract tenants and command higher rents.
