The Smart Window aims to solve the problem of inaccurate weather predictions with its robust set of onboard sensors alongside Wi-Fi connectivity. The Smart Window gives accurate weather and forecast information pertaining to our immediate and regional areas. All the user needs to do is approach the Window, and the built-in proximity sensor will trigger an onboard display to show the users the time, calendar and local weather information such as: temperature, humidity, UV Index, and a local forecast. To ensure that the information will not obstruct the users view of the outside world, our display has been designed to be as transparent as possible.
