Color-changing glass / plastic for Cabins etc.

Not sure of the interest out there except the high-end tastes of boaters so this is a little FYI to the high-end yacht designers.

I manufacture and market the first color-changing glass and plastic sheet material that is used in the highest of high-end decorative surfacing and lighting applications for clients like MTV, Disney, Norwegian Star Cruise Lines, Starbucks Coffee, Sony Style, and some cool restaurant interiors.

Called Dichrolam and Chromasheet, these products change color upon viewing angle and point of illumination in lighting FX, using dichroic films in the lamination core (must see pics on my website to understand).

Common applications include table tops, entry door glass, light shades / diffusers and floor/wall tiles. Flexible versions make awesome sculpture, and is thermoformable.
I am currently using it to make a red/green bow light for my boat, and can see it used in awesome cabins / yachts though not main target market. See www.johnblazy.micronpcweb.com

How does it work, can you laminate like the film you use on car windows.

Unfortunately, it requires high-tech laminating equipment, and is not rated for car window application. Great for interior tabletops, as well as flat windows, sliding doors, shower doors, skylights etc. See www.johnblazydesigns.com.

It is really awsome. However, how can you make a legal bowlight out of it?
